North Carolina -4 (-104) (Matchbook) to win 1 Unit
I am really looking forward to this game quite a bit. I like both of these teams this year and I think North Carolina is a BCS contender this year. I have seen a lot of people on UNC and quite a few on UConn (including pags11). I pay a lot of attention to this Huskies team and have been for the past few years because I have a friend playing for the team the past few years. I have been up there for a few games over the years and this is a down year for them, although not as down as some may think. They obviously are hurt by losing Donald Brown at RB but this Conn team will always run the football. They are a run first team, we all know this. However, I don't think they will find much room against this UNC defense (which is very underrated). UNC a plethora of big, fast, and strong guys on this defensive front which I don't think bodes well for Uconn. I think they are going to be forced to throw the ball a little bit more which they should do with more success in years past since losing Lorenzen (who is horrible btw). I think UNC controls the trenches on both sides of the ball and it is tough to win when you can't get a push up front. I like UNC's offense, they take what you give them and have a few guys who can make some game changing plays. I think this line is too low, I really was expecting -7. I truly believe UNC has all the tools to be a top 10 team this year.
North Carolina 27, Uconn 14
