The North Carolina duo of RB Omarion Hampton and WR J.J. Jones have combined for 180 YPG with 9 TDs this season. I expect big plays from these 2 against a slightly slower Virginia defense. North Carolina's ability to generate stops on the field when needed is key, they have to make some serious changes with their defense if they expect to start winning games again.


Virginia has hit a rough 2 game losing streak - and it isn't getting any easier vs an offense that has been able to hang points with 33 /game. UNC will be throwing a couple of quick jabs, not wanting to make a crucial mistake. Red-zone conversions will be the key here - the team that makes the other team kick FGs wins, give me the Heels in a close game.


North Carolina is rested and also playing with revenge here in this early kickoff!
