LSU Tigers vs. Wake Forest Demon Deacons Best Picks and Prediction
The ability to defend the basketball is critical throughout the regular season and both teams are very similar offensively. The spread has shown that these programs are very similar on both sides of the court. Appleby has shown the ability to have absolutely quiet games and as the leading scorer for the program, that cannot happen to be successful as he scored just eight points in his last game against Clemson. Take the Tigers on the spread.
Pick: LSU Tigers +1.5 (-110)
