How Many Games Will The Wake Forest Demon Deacons Football Team Win This Season (2023) ?

[morrison2951]

are you considering that we are perceived as being on par with georgia tech tho

Not anymore.

We should have paid more attention when one of our few on the Wake beat said 5 wins….I guess the other did guess 8.

What’s the current expectation? @Wakeforest22890

According to Sagarin using his predictor modeling, WF remaining lines:

WF +18 @ Clemson (Clemson getting a recency bump because of WF last two poor performances and Clemson's beatdown of Cuse)
WF +2 @ VT
Pitt @ WF -1.5
FSU @ WF +13
WF +12.5 @ Duke
NC State @ WF -1
WF +19.5 @ ND
WF +10 @ Cuse

WF's power rating has nose-dived from the start of the season (IIRC, WF has dropped 8 points in Sagarin's ratings). The Deacs look to be double digit dogs in 5 of the remaining 8 games (if Leonhard is out or banged up against WF the line would be lower than double digits, but Duke would still be a solid TD+ favorite), with three toss-ups. Would guess that LV would currently put WF's predicted win O/U at 4.5 juiced to the over. Lots of reasons to doubt the 2023 football Deacs.

FWIW, Sagarin currently rates WF #74 in the nation. Here are the other teams rated in the 70s:

70. Montana State (FCS)
71. Troy
72. Toledo
73. Illinois
74. WF
75. Pitt
76. VT
77. NW
78. North Dakota State (FCS)
79. Wyoming

Yeah, feels like we have to win three toss-up games against VPI, Pitt, and State to really have a chance at the 6 win mark.

Which was true at the beginning of the season too.

 

[Biff Tannen]

Which was true at the beginning of the season too.

Well, the consensus was that we would start 4-0 because Ga Tech is bad.

 

[PhDeac]

Which was true at the beginning of the season too.

But it seems different because those teams are worse than expected and so is Wake.
