Hard Rock Stadium will play host to Saturday afternoon college football battle between the Wake Forest Demon Deacons and the Miami Hurricanes. Make sure you are ready for all the football action with our college football picks. The Demon Deacons (4-6) have dropped consecutive games and need to win their final two games to become bowl eligible. On Saturday, Wake Forest committed three turnovers during a 31-24 road loss against North Carolina. 

Wake Forest RB Demond Claiborne put together a solid night on the ground with 95 yards and two scores. Unfortunately the Demon Deacons were unable to contain North Carolina RB Omarion Hampton, who rushed for a career-best 244 yards. 

The Miami Hurricanes have been on a roller coaster ride all season and are in a solid position to make the College Football Playoff. The ninth-ranked Hurricanes (9-1) lead the ACC Conference in total offense and are scoring 45 points per contest. Last time out, Miami was unable to overcome a 12-point second half deficit during a 28-23 road loss against Georgia Tech. 

Miami took a 10-7 lead after one quarter on a Elijah Arroyo 74-yard touchdown reception and an Andres Borregales 41-yard field goal. Heisman Trophy candidate Cam Ward completed 25 of 39 passes for 348 yards and three scores.

Miami is riding a seven-game winning streak against Wake Forest, but these two schools have not met since 2013. The Hurricanes have played down to their competition throughout the year and this will be no different. The Demon Deacons are averaging 27.7 points per game and will cover on the road. Final Score Prediction, Miami Hurricanes win 41-24.
