UNC +6.5 vs Miami

[utmoody10]

The Tarheels are rolling along even with the uncertainty surrounding the future of Butch Davis and their football program in general. The Heels have also beaten the Canes straight up three years in a row. TJ Yates has improved immensely since last year no longer answering to TJ "Yikes!", throwing for 11 TDs and only 1 INT.

Miami is still a wild card on whether or not they will be a contender in the ACC with Jacory Harris being good for a few mistakes a game. Randy Shannon needs a quality win after being thumped by FSU and a loss to the Heels would heighten the pressure on him.

UNC may have Quan Sturdivant back at linebacker after sitting out with a hamstring injury. Running back Ryan Houston has also been cleared by the NCAA but there is rumblings he may be redshirted due to all the time that he has missed.

I like the Heels with the points and am interested to hear any opinions.

Are the corners going to be eligible for this game?

[utmoody10]

Kendric Burney's six game suspension was set to end this week making him eligible although the university is saying there are still unresolved issues. I would not count on him returning this week. Charles Brown is still up in the air and safety Brian Gupton is done for the year.

I've been eying this as my lone ACC play since lines were released. Diving into it a little more after work tonight, but right off the bat - loving UNC +7.5 if I can get it there.

UNC very impressivley went into Virginia and dominated them 44 - 10, a place they havent even won, let alone covered for over 20 years!...and they play every year. Jacory Harris is a turnover machine and UNC's D is still very tough. Love the points in this one.

Yeah I really like North Carolina to cover in this game, Miami is going to have a tough time against their defense. As always good luck to all.

[utmoody10]

One more casualty for the Heels, TE and leading receiver Zach Pianalto is out for the year with a broken fibula he suffered last week. Junior WR Dwight Jones will have to pick up the slack and shown great potential catching almost 200 yards of Yates passes last week against UVA. Jones was a highly sought after recruit out of high school and has yet to contribute much to the Heels offense but the UVA game may be a sign he is turning a corner.
