N.C. -8 2U
Old Dominion
Rarely do I play against a home dog but I cannot pass up a talent mismatch like this with a single digit line.....
Old Dominion simply is just not a threat on offense this year after losing QB David Washington....There offense was built around him last year....Not only did he throw the ball well 31 TD / 5 INT but the threat of him throwing opened up the run allowing for big seasons for the Monarchs RB'S AVG over 5YPC......
The Old Dom offense has not looked near as potent in their first 2 games VS rather weak opponents in FCS Albany and U-Mass....Their defense has looked solid but they have not faced an offense like this since last SEP when they went up against NC State and gave up 49
The Tar Heels have gone up against 2 great offenses in CAL and LOU and have a taken a beating......Their defense though is not as bad as it seems......Right now they are ranked almost dead last in YDS allowed but a game vs a weak non power 5 offense will help to fix those numbers.
On offense the N.C. passing game keeps humming along....Jacoby Brisset, Mitch Trubisky now FR Chazz Surratt is slinging the ball around back there like its nothing - 70% COMP rate 3 TDS / 0 INTS......Even EX LSU QB Brandon Harris looked good VS Louisville backing up last week.........Regardless of who starts Surratt or Harris - the Heels should put up 30+
I like NC by 17 +
I seen the line has jumped up to 10...Still value here
