North Carolina Tar Heels vs. Virginia Cavaliers Prediction and Preview

Posted Oct 24, 2018
This is a must-win game for North Carolina. The Tar Heels have shown improvement in recent weeks, both running the football and stopping the run, which should give the team some confidence. Virginia has a well-rounded offense and a more impressive (though also susceptible) defense. Plus, the Cavaliers are highly motivated. Prediction: Virginia 31, North Carolina 17 (Athlon Sports)
