Orange Bowl Prediction and Preview: North Carolina vs. Texas A&M

Posted Dec 31, 2020
With North Carolina not at full strength, it’s hard to get a good read on this matchup. Sam Howell is more than enough to carry the Tar Heels to a win, but Texas A&M’s defense will have an easier time defending this offense, and there’s an edge for A&M in the trenches. The Aggies' motivation also will be a storyline. Prediction: Texas A&M 34, UNC 27. (Athlon Sports)
