The Miami Hurricanes (2-3, 0-1 ACC) and North Carolina Tar Heels (3-3, 2-3) meet for an ACC Coastal Division showdown Saturday at Kenan Memorial Stadium in Chapel Hill, N.C. Kickoff is set for 3:30 p.m. ET. Below, we look at the Miami vs. North Carolina odds and lines; check back for our college football picks and predictions.
Miami opened its ACC slate with a 30-28 loss Sept. 30 at Virginia. The Cavaliers led wire-to-wire and held the Hurricanes QB Tyler Van Dyke to 15-for-29 passing. UM was favored in the game and is now just 1-4 against the spread.
Miami was idle last week and now plays its first true road game of the season. Under head coach Manny Diaz, the Huccianes are 3-1 ATS as road dogs.
North Carolina is coming off a 35-25 home loss to Florida State and has dropped two of its last three games. UNC was outscored 35-7 over the middle quarters of Saturday’s loss, and was undone by some passing inefficiencies and 110 yards in penalties.
The Tar Heels have struggled against the difficult-to-overcome statistical tandem of allowing a 66.0% completion rate (115th FBS) and 7.9 yards allowed per attempt (90th).
