Wake Forest Football: 2021 game-by-game predictions for Demon Deacons
By Austin Lloyd
Games 5-8
Louisville: Loss
The Cardinals decimated the Demon Deacons last year, the former should soundly improve this time around, and the physicality of the past couple of weeks will have them in over their heads for this matchup. Louisville won’t take another blowout, but they will convincingly overwhelm the Deacs for the second season in a row.
Syracuse: Win
Wake Forest’s punching bag game has entered the scene. The battle will take place in Syracuse, but the home-field advantage will feel practically nonexistent (just like last year) as WF wins this one by over 20.
Army: Win
This should be one of the more exciting games of Wake’s 2021 schedule. The Black Knights showcased an exponentially superior performance last season and will be hosting the affair.
However, Wake Forest will be coming off of a bye and possesses the better talent. A tough game no doubt, but the Demon Deacons pull it out.
Duke: Win
A fun rivalry game for Wake and the Blue Devils in this one, but no one else in the country will care and here’s why: The Deacons have won their last two meetings over Duke, the Blue Devils are arguably the worst ACC team heading into next season, and the game is in Winston-Salem. Wake winning by less than three scores would be a disappointment.
