UNC Football vs. NC State Prediction: Tar Heels, Wolfpack Face Off In Chapel Hill

Posted Nov 24, 2022
This is a game involving North Carolina, so the odds are that it will be close. NC State is not a team that puts great pressure on the passer, so Drake Maye should have time to throw. I believe that Maye and Josh Downs have a bounce-back performance and that the Wolfpack injuries are too much for them to overcome. Prediction: UNC 31, NC State 27. (Athlon Sports)
