I don't really mind if people are on wake here, but I do have to disagree. I am a homer for FSU, so that does have some effect, but not really when my money is on the line. I tend to stay away from betting FSU because they are so damn inconsistent, but this week i'm on them for a few reasons.
1. revenge, that's not the biggest reason, but it does count for something, having been a walk on and with the team for a few years, I know how Mickey Andrews motivates and these kids WILL be reminded for the next couple days how they were embarassed last year at home by this team. Ultimately last year is last year and it doesn't mean a damn thing. but these kids will remember.
2. athletes, while the gap has shrunk a bit here, let's be completely honest, FSU still has better athletes all over the field.
3. momentum, if you look at each of these team's seasons so far you will notice that they are going in different directions. Wake had 2 tough loses to start the year and then looked pretty bad in wins over Army, and Duke, and damn near lost in giving up 36 points to Duke. they beat maryland, who has shown up this year but so so at best. FSU on the other hand is 1 half of football away from being undefeated. and while they looked rugged offensively in their first few games, they are moving the ball and have a rejuvinated Offense with Xavier Lee at QB, and he was the starter that was destroyed last year against Wake...he remembers. but FSU has quality wins at Colorado...who, by the way, beat Oklahoma there. then an impressive 2nd half and win over an Alabama team, at a neutral site, who was one OT away from being undefeated. and then a win at home against NC State which is unimpressive but the D gave up nothing in the second half and the offense continued to move the ball and improve. I think FSU is getting better and feeling more comfortable with their new system and the D is always nasty. Wake looks like they are just sleep walking after a couple tough losses.
The comment about last years loss is means absolutely nothing, and if you make plays based on last year's result's, well GL to you.
I could obiously be completely wrong, but I don't think so and I actually think FSU rolls Wake here. I see a 28-13 type game.

After Sun and Mon night games. I am on hush-mouth. I still came out of the weekend ahead but gave back some gravy with those 2 nightmares. I'm going to wait for the Bigdaddy blue plate special and stick with that!

I actually like FSU in this game. They have been playing better as of late and WF hasn't done much at all this year. If Lee is QB for FSU, then I think they can win by 10+

FSU will roll in the Thurs night spotlight. Of course i am bias being alumni but i have watched all the games this year and I dont see wake giving them too much trouble. I see lots of revenge coming from FSU. The "X-Man" may not be pretty but the team seems to win under him and thats what counts. He is only going to get stronger as year goes on and I think X has a big game.
FSU - 30
Wake - 0
Wouldn't that be ironic

FSU IS THE PLAY. Wake wont be able to run, become one dimensional and will be lucky to get 2 scores. FSU should score 4x. Wake has only beaten Duke and Army and should have lost to Maryland while FSU has beaten pretty good Colorado and Bama teams.

FSU is on a 4 game winning streak since their loss to start the season against Clemson and has not won 5 in a row since early 2005.
FSU is currently on a 3-1 ats streak but has never covered 4 straight since 2000.
FSU has always been known for their defense. FSU is 19-8 ats after allowing 14 points or less in 3 consecutive games.
Wake F - Their defense rarely gives up the big plays. There more of a defense that makes their opponent play smash mouth football. WF defense allows just 3 yds per carry.
Wake F come in as home underdogs and could not ask for anything better than to be considered as home underdogs. Wake is 10-5 ats as home underdogs.
Revenge does play a factor in this game but it does not fall into FSU's advantage. FSU is 3-8 ats in this type of revenge factor. If FSU was at home playing this game then the tables would be turned in favor of FSU.
I give the slight advantage to Wake in this match up taking the points. The under also looks good in this match up.
Still waiting on the final lines for this game but more than likely I'll be taking Wake Forest on the final.
Aloha and good luck to all

the last 3 or so years...fsu's defense just isn't what it used to be. days past they used to blank the duke's,nc's,wake's and anyone else in that class...not any more. look for a 31-24 final...good luck calling the winner!!!!
Over!!!!

I won with Navy last night....thinking FSU. This is my first post on this site and I look forward to talking with some of you. I have been on a roll (which obviously means nothing to any of you as I have never posted any picks here) but hope to continue with some nice picks over the next couple days.
