North Carolina at Miami Florida

Premium Pick

This is a very tough spot for Miami as they are off their first loss of the season, and it was against their bitter rival Florida State To make matters worse, they lost by a single point. It is going to be hard for this team to be fully loaded emotionally, and taking on a very competent North Carolina team while laying more than a TD won't be an easy task. The Hurricanes are now 4-1 and had looked impressive enough to be labeled as a potential challenger in the ACC and beyond, but the 4-0 start was vs. much lesser teams, and losing at home in their first test was a blow. North Carolina has a good coach, a strong offense, and a team that has done well in finding a way to win. The Tar Heels are 4-2 with losses to Georgia and Virginia Tech, but have beaten Pittsburgh, and Florida State, so they certainly have had a much tougher road, and a win here will have them with a better record than Miami. Miami QB Brad Kaaya injured his shoulder last game, so he may not be 100%. Miami has a history of not being focused after getting upset at home as a favorite, leaving them at 4-15 ATS in their next game in the last 19. Grab the points on North Carolina.
