[dfads params=’groups=220&limit=1&return_javascript=1′]
This game will be the first ever meeting between these two schools.
Michigan State Spartans
The Spartans had a dreadful season this year and will be looking to avoid a below .500 record. They ended the season with two wins in a row, which is actually the reason why they are bowl eligible in the first place. However, these wins were rather unimpressive, coming against Rutgers and Maryland. They looked poor in their final game against the Terps, winning 19-16.
The offense has been a huge part of the struggles for Michigan State. They rank 101st in total yards per game, 60th in passing yards per game, 116th in rushing yards per game and 107th in points scored per game. Nothing is impressive about this team, which is why they find themselves in this bowl game.

Defense has been the strength for this team, however they have shown the ability to fall apart. They allow 320.1 total yards per game, ranking 18th in the country. Defending the run has been their strength as they allow 109.5 yards per game and rank 14th. They allow hold opponents to an average of 22.7 points per game. However, they have only really shut down the Big Ten bottom dwellers. Against big time opponents, they get torched.
Wake Forest Demon Deacons
For what the ACC is this season, the Demon Deacons had a decent year. They did finish the season with a loss to Syracuse which was not a good game for them at all. The final score to this game was 39-30, but luckily they had already clinched a spot in a bowl.
Their offense has had a ton of success this season, averaging 473.4 total yards per game. This ranks 12th in the country and shows they can move the ball.
Their strength on offense is passing the football. They are the 18th best passing offense in FBS, averaging 297.8 yards per game. They are led by quarterback, Jaime Newman, however he is battling a right leg injury and is questionable for this game.
Defense is where the Demon Deacons have had their struggles. They are below average in the major categories, especially in scoring defense, allowing 29.2 points per game. Passing defense has also been their weak point, allowing 247.2 yards per game and ranking 97th.
Luckily, the Demon Deacons are going up against an anemic offense in this particular match-up. They must hold the Spartans to the mid 20’s if they want a shot to cap off their season with a bowl win.

New Era Pinstripe Bowl NCAA Football Pick
Nothing about Michigan State and their offense gives me any kind of confidence backing them to win. I actually like Wake Forest because they have actually shown the ability to move the ball.
4* Free NCAA Betting Pick: Wake Forest Demon Deacons +4.5
Fading Michigan State this year has been extremely profitable and I believe taking the points with the Demon Deacons is the right call in what could be a field goal game.
