UNC Football vs. Cal: Preview & Prediction

Posted Oct 17, 2025
The Tar Heels are averaging 11 points per game through three games against Power 4 opponents and allowing an average of 40 points in those losses. A chaotic week off the field could inspire North Carolina to prove its naysayers wrong, but the Golden Bears are the better bet as a more consistent group through seven weeks. Prediction: Cal 29, UNC 18. (MSN.com)
