    Wake Forest -7.5?
    Is this spread low or what? Is it a trap? Anyone have insight into why this spread is low? Any thoughts on the game?

    Noon tip, Wake coming off that big win over Duke, GT has some bigs that could match up with Wake (the older Aminu brother plays for GT and has better #s), conference game. I actually like the Yellow Jackets, esp if the line goes to 8.

      I locked in last night at -7.5 thinking the spread will go up a couple of points. It didn't happen. The public is pounding Wake. I have the feeling that this play will go down in flame.

        I do not think Wake is mentally strong enough yet to go out on the road vs a team everybody expects them to whoop and execute. If I play, I am definitely grabbing the points. My local usually bumps favorites so there is a chance I could catch 9 to 9.5 points.

          Buyer beware though for potential GT backers such as me:

          Paul Hewitt is an awful coach.

            Wake will dominate this team. Dominate.

              I was thinking the line should have been at least double digits.

                GT relies too much on their bigs. Wake is way bigger. 7 players over 6' 7" i think

                  So If you think that, then you should play wake. Everyone is looking for Wake to come out sleepy. I think they learned their lesson against VT after their Clemson win. Wake has proven they can win big on the road against quality teams. They beat BYU, Clemson, BC (not too good), all by double digits on the road. I don't see why they won't take GT (who is awful) by double digits as well.

                    BRAVO!

                    Wake it is!

                      I can't believe all of these fouls.

                        Well, I never like to blame the refs. But cmon. This is so much of a lopsided called game i've seen all year in the ACC. ACC refs are known to sometimes favor the home team, and it looks like we picked a game where they are doing just that. How many times did you count a Wake player getting knocked to the ground for a layup and they didn't call it. If Jeff Teague is gettting TEED up, then you know it's bad. That is a calm kid. This is BS.

                            Refs will have to call it normal for a win. GT actually hitting fts as well. Funny.

                                Wake can still pull this off. GT hung with Clemson in the first half, and then got blown out. Let's see what happens.

                                    Doesn't look like a cover is going to happen.
