Predictions: ACC Week 5

Posted Sep 29, 2011
North Carolina 24, East Carolina 21 (OT): The fact that this is a night game and at ECU almost made this an upset pick. Almost. UNC is coming off a let-down loss against Georgia Tech and now they have to face a hostile in-state crowd. But the Tar Heels are better up front, they’ll get what they need out of their defense, and tailback Giovani Bernard will gash the Pirates’ soft defense for another 100-yard performance. (ESPN.com)
