The absence of Hurricanes quarterback D’Eriq King will render the offense pretty much useless and the under has hit all four times that a point total was listed this season. The Tar Heels defense has given up 400 or more yards just once this season, and won’t have an issue shutting the ‘Canes down. North Carolina will get a lead, put it in neutral and the second half will be relatively uneventful.

Miami benefits from needed time off. Sixteen days after a heart-wrenching defeat to Virginia, the Hurricanes resurface with several players fresh off injury rehab and a freshman at QB who is not as worrisome as it seems. Tyler Van Dyke has put up better numbers than sixth-year senior D’Eriq King, whose season is over (shoulder). With Manny Diaz as coach, UM is 3-1 ATS away. UNC is a disappointing 3-3 straight-up despite having played four home games.
