Mack Brown has North Carolina back on track in his second term as head coach for the Tarheels as they are currently 4-1 and coming off an impressive 48-21 victory over North Carolina State. It was their first meeting since 1993 when both schools were ranked in the Top 25. Javonte Williams ran for 160 yards and three touchdowns and the Tarheels racked up 326 rushing yards on 55 carries. Sam Howell completed 18 of 29 for 252 yards and a TD as North Carolina put on an impressive offensive show. The Tarheels are No. 12 in the country in yards gained while scoring an average of 37.8 points. That doesn't bode well for Virginia, which gives up 419.6 yards and 31.6 points per contest. The Cavaliers just haven't been able to get much going offensively and they have suffered from players missing due to COVID issues. That means the posted total in this game is too high and Virginia stayed UNDER by 21.5 points in a 19-14 loss to Miami. North Carolina has gone UNDER nine of its last 13 games versus teams with losing records and the Tarheels are 8-2 UNDER after scoring at least 40 points their previous game. The UNDER is 10-4-1 the last 15 meetings. Play North Carolina and the UNDER.
