Why Wake Forest can cover

Wake Forest led for most of its game against Virginia last week, but some untimely plays down the stretch led to a Cavaliers win. Transfer quarterback Hank Bachmeier became the starter last week after entering in relief in the opener. He has thrown for four touchdowns without an interception so far this season, and avoiding turnovers is one of the keys to springing an upset.

Head coach Dave Clawson is 4-0 against SEC teams during his time at Wake Forest, and the Demon Deacons have won both of the previous meetings between these teams. Ole Miss is not only going on the road for the first time this season, but it is also facing a power-conference team for the first time. Wake Forest is 14-6 in its last 20 home games and is 9-3 in its last 12 games in September. See which team to pick here.

Why Ole Miss can cover

Ole Miss has had this game circled on its calendar, as it is the school's only matchup against a power conference opponent during non-conference play. The Rebels have been very impressive through their first two games, blowing out both Furman and Middle Tennessee. Quarterback Jaxson Dart has established himself as an early Heisman Trophy candidate, coming up two completions shy of an NCAA record when he completed his first 24 throws against Middle Tennessee to set an SEC record.

The Rebels have scored on 20 of their first 27 possessions this season, with 17 of those drives ending in touchdowns. Their defense has been equally impressive, as neither Furman not Middle Tennessee reached the 50-yard rushing mark. Ole Miss is 12-1 in its last 13 September games and has covered the spread in five of its last six games against ACC opponents. See which team to pick here.
