Two teams from the ACC will be facing off when the Miami-Fl Hurricanes visit the North Carolina Tar Heels.
Miami did not play last week and UNC is coming off of a loss.
This opening spread had the Tar Heels favored by 6.5 points and the initial total was 60.5.
Miami Hurricanes
Miami was supposed to be better this year, but so far they have not been that impressive. The only thing this program seems to have nowadays is name recognition.
The last game this team played was on September 30th when they lost to Virginia 30-28. They have not played in two weeks.
Tyler Van Dyke was 15/29 for 203 yards and 1 touchdown in the loss against the Cavaliers. He will look to be more accurate this week.
The defense has not been great so far this year and they will be challenged an awful lot when trying to contain that explosive offense of North Carolina. They certainly will have their hands full.
North Carolina Tar Heels
The Tar Heels had very high expectations going into this season and so far they have totally flopped. They have not been impressive at all.
North Carolina was a 17.5 point favorite against the Florida State Seminoles lost week and they ended up losing the game 35/25. There were absolutely no excuses for them to lose that game to a team like that. Embarrassing!
In the losing effort last week, quarterback Sam Howell went 17/32 for 203 yards with 2 touchdowns and 1 interception. He will need to be much sharper this week if they plan on actually winning a game.
The running game could not get much going against the Seminoles. The leading receiver was Josh Downs who had 9 receptions for 121 yards. I am sure he will get lots of targets in this upcoming game.
The defense has not been impressive for this team so far. Allowing 35 points to a team like Florida State should say it all. Who knows how they’ll do against the Hurricanes.

Free Week 7 NCAA Football Pick
I like North Carolina to win straight up here.
Although the Tar Heels have not been great, they should be able to beat Miami. If they cannot do that then I have no idea anymore!
4* Free Week 7 NCAA Betting Pick: North Carolina SU
It is hard to trust this team given how inconsistent their play is. With that said, I look for them to put the loss from last week behind them and get this win against a Hurricanes team that is simply not that good.
I look for the offense of North Carolina to be better than it was last week. If they are in a groove, I do not feel that the Miami defense will be able to stop them. UNC’s defense may not be great in this contest, but as long as they can do enough, they should win.
Give me the Tar Heels at home here.
