Michigan State Spartans vs Wake Forest Demon Deacons Predictions 12/27/2019

The Wake Forest Demon Deacons lost its recent match to the Syracuse Orange to a score of 30-39 at the Carrier Dome in Syracuse, New York last November 30, 2019. The Deacons are 8-4 overall and 4-4 in the Atlantic Coast Conference, Atlantic Division and is the 4.5-point underdog in this match. Wake Forest QB Jamie Newman is a dangerous threat to the Michigan State Spartans defenses but is hanging with an injury on his knee. If he can’t play, 2nd stringer Sam Hartman takes his place, an efficient passer who will be looking to WR Kendall Hinton, the best receiver of the injury-plagued Demon Deacons roster.

RB Cade Carney dashed for a total of 54 yards on 12 handles with a rushing touchdown in the match. WR Donavon Green grabbed 7 passes for 172 yards in the defeat to Syracuse.
