Wake Forest held the Buccaneers to 56 points on 37.3% shooting in its win, also limiting them to a 27.3% shooting percentage from beyond the arc while turning Charleston Southern over 15 times.

However, the Deacons’ defense has struggled to perform the same against stronger teams. they have given up 81 points and a 45.9% field-goal percentage to the three Power Five teams they have faced.

Florida vs Wake Forest Best Bet

Though the Demon Deacons get home-court advantage in the matchup, the sportsbook leans to Florida, with NCAA basketball lines favoring the Gators by five points. Florida should be a good NCAA basketball bet to cover as well.

The Gators’ offense has been hot to start the season and they should show no signs of slowing down against a Wake Forest team that has trouble slowing stronger offenses. Although Florida’s defense had issues containing Baylor, it has given up 74.7 points a game and should have a better time stopping the Deacons.

Wake Forest will try to stay in the game, but Florida’s offense should prove to be too much for the Demon Deacons to keep up with by the end.
