North Carolina vs. NC State Predictions

The model found that the total is higher than 100% of the 13 most historically similar matchups. That warrants a play on Under 56.
Everyone thinks of North Carolina as a high-flying offense that lights up the scoreboard. After all, the Tar Heels posted 56 and 63 points respectively in their first two games of the season. However, most would be surprised to find out that North Carolina is just 5-5 to the over this season. In fact, the Tar Heels have fallen under the total in three straight games.
NC State has a good enough defense to slow the Tar Heels down. NC State is 6-3-1 to the under this season while ranking 19th in the country for scoring defense and 27th in total defense. The Wolfpack will look to play solid defense and run the ball to sustain drives. That shouldn’t be much of a problem against a UNC defense that ranks 107 in rushing defense.
Georgia Tech used this strategy against North Carolina last week and pulled out a 21-17 victory. This UNC-NC State rivalry game could follow a similar script.
