Before making any Wake Forest vs. Cal picks or CFB predictions, you need to see what the SportsLine Projection Model has to say.

The model simulates every FBS college football game 10,000 times. Since its inception, it has generated a profit of well over $2,000 for $100 players on its top-rated college spread football picks, and it is a sizzling 18-9 on all top-rated picks over the past six weeks of this season. Anyone following has seen STRONG returns!

Cal may not have an in-conference victory yet this season, but they have played very well in their first ACC campaign. Much of that success is thanks to sophomore quarterback Fernando Mendoza, who has thrown for 2,095 yards with 10 touchdowns and just three interceptions. The Bears defense has also been strong all season, which could help them get to 5-4 and one step closer to a bowl game berth.

However, the Demon Deacons have a defensive scheme that could wear Mendoza down and could test Cal's ability to drive the ball down field. For its own offense, Wake Forest will lean on running back Demond Claiborne who leads the team with 4.9 yards per carry for eight rushing touchdowns. Dave Clawson's team should also have a boost in confidence coming off of an in-conference win against Stanford.

The model has simulated Wake Forest vs. Cal 10,000 times and the results are in. We can tell you the model is leaning Under on the total, and it also says one side of the spread hits in over 60% of simulations!
