Robby Ashford, QB, Wake Forest (-130) ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Ashford has scored in seven of his 11 games this season and in three consecutive contests entering the Duke's Mayo Bowl. He’s recorded at least 10 carries in four of his last five games and in seven matchups overall.

Mississippi State allows 189.5 rushing yards per game, the most in the SEC. The Bulldogs have also given up 17 rushing touchdowns.

FanDuel’s price of -130 is a bit expensive, as a $10 bet would only profit $7.69. But the price implies he's getting a 56.52% chance of scoring, which seems low, especially since starting running back Demond Claiborne isn’t playing.

Our Rob Paul also thinks Ashford will thrive, and outlined why in his Wake Forest vs. Mississippi State predictions.

Carlos Hernandez, WR, Wake Forest (+240) ⭐⭐⭐

Wake Forest has only scored 15 passing touchdowns this season, but Hernandez has accounted for three, which is tied for the most on the team. All of Hernandez’s touchdowns have come in his last three games, as he’s caught at least five passes in each of those contests.

Mississippi State has allowed 21 passing touchdowns this season, the third-most in the SEC.

Davon Booth, RB, Mississippi State (+115) ⭐⭐⭐

While Booth has rushed for fewer yards than Fluff Bothwell, he’s tied for the team lead with seven rushing touchdowns, and Booth added two through the air. He hasn’t scored in his last three games, but Booth has found the end zone in six outings this season.

Wake Forest has allowed 17 rushing touchdowns this campaign. This plays into the strength of the Mississippi State offense, which scored 28 touchdowns on the ground this year.
