Vanderbilt vs Wake Forest

Vanderbilt’s 11-game winning streak, fueled by a 93.7 points-per-game attack and a deep backcourt led by Duke Miles and Frankie Collins, looks strong enough to survive Wake Forest’s own three-game surge and 7-1 home record in Winston-Salem, especially with both teams entering without any newly reported injuries and no meaningful individual head-to-head history in this first meeting between these cores. With Vanderbilt’s superior turnover profile and size on the glass through Jalen Washington likely to offset Juke Harris’ heavy scoring load for the Deacons, the Commodores’ moneyline is a solid but not elite value play at a steep price, justifying a B grade rather than higher purely on risk–reward.

Wake Forest’s ability to hang 80+ regularly behind Juke Harris and Myles Colvin, combined with Vanderbilt’s top-10 national scoring pace and current 11-game tear, points toward a high-possession game where both offenses push into the mid-70s or better despite neither side carrying major injury limitations into Sunday. With the Commodores averaging over 93 points and the Deacons north of 85 while both defenses yield in the low 70s, even a slight tempo drop from true track-meet levels still leans toward the Over on 160.5, though late-game halfcourt grind or cold perimeter shooting keeps this in B- territory rather than a stronger endorsement.

Wake Forest’s three-game winning streak and 7-1 home mark, powered by Harris’ 20-and-7 production and a balanced supporting cast, make the Deacons an appealing side to keep this close against an undefeated Vanderbilt group whose 11-game run has included a narrow overtime escape and limited true road tests, all with both rotations essentially intact for this matchup. Given the recent history of Vanderbilt–Wake Forest tilts favoring the Commodores at a program level but with entirely different personnel, plus Wake’s strong home shooting splits and Vanderbilt’s occasional sloppiness with the ball, taking the points with the energized home underdog at +5 grades out as a B+ value while still allowing for a tight Commodores outright win.
