Both of these teams are 2-0 and Wake Forest comes off a 41-21 win over Rice while racking up 513 total yards and holding the Owls to 1.8 yards per carry. Jamie Newman threw for 312 yards and three touchdowns with no interceptions and Kenneth Walker III rushed for 125 yards on only nine carries. This could be a letdown spot for the Tar Heels after they won their first two games over South Carolina and Miami-Florida in Mack Brown's return to the team after 20 years. North Carolina was outgained 488-389 by the Hurricanes, who totaled 179 rushing yards on 4.8 yards per carry in a losing cause. Sam Howell finished 16-of-24 for 274 yards and two touchdowns for the Tar Heels. North Carolina's secondary will be tested by a host of talented wide receivers, including Scotty Washington, who caught seven passes for 158 yards and two touchdowns last week and Sage Surratt, who had six receptions and a touchdown. This is a huge game for the Demon Deacons on national television on Friday night and they haven't played the Tar Heels since 2015. Play Wake Forest on the moneyline.
