The (3-1) North Carolina Tar Heels will host (2-2) Virginia Tech this Saturday at 3:30 P.M. ET.
UNC is currently -9 point favorites to win the clash in the Atlantic Coast Conference showdown, crediting Drake Maye-led offense on the reasoning why. North Carolina is coming off their first season loss, losing 45-32 last weekend to Notre Dame.
The Hokies are also coming off a loss of their own, as West Virginia got the better of them last weekend 33-10. Now, we not only get to see how UNC respond to their first loss of the season, but we also get to see them do it against a team that is as hungry to get it together.
This match is vital for UNC and their ACC championship hopes. To keep it simple, UNC needs to win this game and make a statement by playing both sides of the ball. After the defeat to Notre Dame, the road to a playoff trip may be blocked, but the path to a potential ACC championship game is still available. They have to take care of business moving forward with top teams like Wake Forest and NC State still on their schedule.
