Wake Forest Demon Deacons vs Virginia Cavaliers Prediction, Odds and Picks for Today, 11/08/25

The Wake Forest Demon Deacons face the Virginia Cavaliers on Saturday night in Charlottesville. One of the pressing questions of the night is how Virginia will do as a frontrunner. The Cavs sit atop the ACC standings as the only remaining unbeaten team in conference play, and they are the highest-ranked ACC team in the initial playoff rankings. They have done well this season as the hunter, especially when they upended Florida State in an overtime thriller. Now they will get everyone’s best shot. Still, I think there is quite a bit of separation between Virginia and Wake Forest. I’m backing UVA as long as it stays under a touchdown.

If you do not yet know about Virginia, it runs an aggressive passing attack led by transfer QB Chandler Morris, who came over from one of the most prolific passing attacks in the country in North Texas. The Wahoos force opposing defenses to spread out, which also provides opportunity to run underneath. Wake Forest is a solid defensive unit, and it shut down the likes of SMU just a couple weeks ago — but I really think that was Wake’s peak. The Demon Deacons were blasted by Florida State last week, and they shouldn’t be sneaking up on anyone the rest of the way. I look for the Cavaliers to hold serve and cover by the touchdown behind a strong offensive attack. Wake Forest just does not have the offensive firepower to keep pace in this kind of matchup.

Wake Forest vs Virginia prediction: Virginia -6.5 (-110) available at time of publishing. Playable at that number.
