ACC Week 3 Predictions

Posted Sep 17, 2015
Illinois at North Carolina: Expect plenty of fireworks in this game. Both teams are averaging over 30 points per game and are led by solid quarterbacks in Wes Lunt (Illinois) and Marquise Williams (North Carolina). The Tar Heels have improved on defense under new coordinator Gene Chizik, and I think that’s the difference in this game. North Carolina 38-31 (Athlon Sports)
