UNC vs. Virginia Picks

The UNC Tar Heels are one of the best offenses in college football and have scored 30+ points in all six of their games and 40+ in four of them. With that, take Drake Maye over 2.5 passing touchdowns at +110. Maye has gone over this number in two of his last three games but plays a bad Virginia defense.

The other pick is to take UNC -6.5 in the first quarter. The Cavaliers have struggled on both ends of the ball as the Tar Heels should get out to an early lead and cruise to the win.


UNC vs. Virginia head-to-head

The UNC Tar Heels and Virginia Cavaliers first met in 1892 with Virginia winning 30-18.

UNC vs. Virginia prediction

The UNC Tar Heels have one of the best offenses in football and that should show in this matchup.

Drake Maye should be able to carve up this Virginia Cavaliers' defense which has struggled. Virginia's offense also won't be able to keep up with UNC's high-potent offense.

The Tar Heels will get out to an early lead and cruise to a blowout victory.

Prediction: Tar Heels blow out Virginia.
