North Carolina at NC State

North Carolina needs a win to avoid a losing season and go to Bowl game. All of North Carolina's losses have been by a touchdown or less. That includes a 21-20 loss to defending champion Clemson as a +27 underdog. QB Sam Howell has put together one of the best rookie seasons in league history with 2,946 yards passing, 32 touchdowns, to rank No. 1 in the ACC. That touchdown total is fifth in FBS. He has a pair of dazzling receivers in Dazz Newsome (817 yards) and sophomore Dyami Brown (797 yards). The Tar Heels are 19-7 ATS after allowing less than 275 total yards in their previous game, plus 10-4 ATS after getting less than 170 yards passing the last game. They face an NC State squad with a losing record that won't be bowling. NC State's secondary is awful, #80 in pass defense, while the offense is averaging just 14.8 points the last eight contests. NC State is 10-4 UNDER the total against losing teams and North Carolina is 8-3 ATS in this stadium. Play North Carolina and also the UNDER.
