Maryland looked awful against UNC, but they call the Deacons 'Shaky Wakey' for a reason. Last year over the final 20 games, which encompassed the entire ACC slate and all tourney games, had you picked against Wake and taken the Over in their games you would have gone 30-9-1. For parlay folks, there were more than enough sweeps to boost the wallet. Not as hot this year, but a winning record nonetheless with a 14-11-1 mark in 13 games on the big board.
Wake is better than last year and thus far appear to handle the role of favorite this season than last. But with that huge showdown on Saturday with UNC might have them looking ahead, and can a Gary Williams team look that bad two games in a row?
It's the Over, which has hit in 6 of WF's last 8 games that I would more confident in. The teams played three times last year with all three approaching or exceeding 170 points scored. Haven't seen a total yet.
While I am not sold on WF, I am more wary of betting against them this year. But the Over in their games is always worth a look
