Premium Pick

North Carolina has played better than the record suggests, losing close ones to Cal (35-30), #17 Louisville (47-35) and Duke (27-17). The Tar Heels have covered five of their last six road contests. Coach Larry Fedora runs a good program and is getting fine play from freshman QB Chazz Surratt (847 yards, five TDs, one pick). Georgia Tech gave up 42 points and four rushing touchdowns in a loss at home to Tennessee and has a showdown on deck against #14 Miami. The Yellow Jackets are 5-11-1 ATS in ACC games, plus 2-9-1 ATS after allowing fewer than 100 yards rushing in their previous game. This is a great spot for the big dog, who has beat G-Tech the last three years, 48-43, 38-31 and 48-20 -- and one of those was as a +6 dog on this field. Play North Carolina. Also take the UNDER. Georgia Tech has gone UNDER the total 49 of their last 76 times they have won games back to back including 26-12 under head coach Paul Johnson. Under Larry Fedora, North Carolina is 17-7 UNDER on the road in grass games and 22-12 UNDER after a home game. Take the Heels and the UNDER.
