North Carolina vs. Florida State prediction and betting tips - November 2 | College Football Week 10

The North Carolina Tar Heels will travel to Tallahassee this weekend to take on the Florida State Seminoles in a Week 10 Atlantic Coast Conference showdown. The Seminoles have an abysmal 1-7 record through their first eight games with a 1-6 record in conference play.

Florida State has been arguably the most disappointing program in college football this season. They are amid a four-game skid, coming off a 36-14 blowout loss versus the Miami Hurricanes last week.

North Carolina snapped their four-game losing streak with a 41-14 win over the Virginia Cavaliers last weekend. The Tar Heels enter the weekend with a modest 4-4 record overall but a disappointing 1-3 mark in conference play.

Here are our predictions and betting tips ahead of this Week 10 ACC clash.

North Carolina vs. Florida State: Prediction

This prediction would be much more secure if the Tar Heels weren't on the losing end of four of their last five games following a 3-0 record to start the season. It's hard to bet in favor of the Seminoles this season, who will fall out of bowl eligibility for the first time since 2021.

Since Florida State is favored in just one of their final four games, not this one, we'll take the Tar Heels to win this one, giving Mack Brown his first win over Florida State in his 35-year head coaching career.
