<p>
North Carolina's slide to 2-8 SU has been much more forgettable, but it has been slightly better ATS at 4-5-1. The total has gone OVER in seven of the 10 games, but it has stayed UNDER in two of the Tar Heels' last three home games. They snapped a straight up six-game losing skid with Saturday’s 49-26 nonconference victory against Western Carolina as heavy 30.5-point home favorites. Their lone win in the ACC this season was a stunning 38-35 upset at home against Pittsburgh on Sept. 22 as three-point underdogs.

<p>
One of the most significant issues with North Carolina this season has been a defense that does not know how to get off the field. This unit is well down the list in Division IA (FBS) with a points-allowed average of 34.6. The offense is averaging 27.3 points per game with Nathan Elliott leading the way at quarterback. He completed 18-of-24 passing attempts for 308 yards and two scores on Saturday, but he was also intercepted twice. He has thrown for 300 yards or more three times this season.
