Holiday Bowl Prediction: Explosive Offenses Meet When UNC Faces Oregon in San Diego

Posted Dec 27, 2022
There should be a lot of passes in this game. On the North Carolina side, that's what Drake Maye does. And with D.J. Johnson not there to rush the passer for the Ducks, that is where Oregon's defense is the most vulnerable. Oregon receivers should feast on a Tar Heel secondary that will be without three key players. Prediction: Oregon 45, UNC 24 (Athlon Sports)
