The Demon Deacons are 2-2 against the spread on the road and have only lost 58-55 to North Carolina in a game that didn't count in the conference standings. Few teams can match their aerial attack, and Clemson has had its fair share of struggles throwing the football.

Wake Forest quarterback Sam Hartman has tormented opposing defenses in 2021. He's rushed for 328 yards and nine scores in addition to tallying 3,163 passing yards with 30 touchdowns and eight interceptions. Hartman's skill set has helped the Demon Deacons score at least 40 points in five consecutive games. Clemson has begun to iron out its kinks on offense, but DJ Uiagalelei's performance remains inconsistent. Wake Forest's consistency could give the visitors an edge.

The Tigers have bounced back after a slow start to the season. They've won three straight contests ahead of Week 12. Clemson's last two home wins have been by double-digits. Clemson's passing attack has struggled, but it has enough talent in the backfield to dominate Wake Forest's subpar run defense.

Wake Forest's front line has been dominated opposing running backs in three consecutive road games. Syracuse, Army, and North Carolina racked up more than 300 rushing yards apiece against the Demon Deacons. Clemson could control the clock if it has similar success on the ground. The Tigers don't have a dominant feature back but have had a 100-yard rusher in two of their previous three home games.
