UNC vs. West Virginia Prediction
The Heels turned in another strong season under the guidance of Mack Brown.
UNC enters this contest with a record of 8-4.
The Heels lost their final two games and will attempt to end the season on a strong note tonight.
Drake Maye, who is expected to be a top-five pick in this year's NFL Draft, will not be active tonight.
The absence of Maye will force freshman Conner Harrell into action. Harrell has thrown for 71 yards and one touchdown this season.
Sophomore Omarion Hampton leads the Heels rushing attack. Hampton has racked up a team-best 1,442 yards and 15 touchdowns.
Devontez Walker was the top option in the passing game for the Heels. Walker has racked up 699 yards and seven touchdowns.
UNC will be without wide receivers Bryson Nesbit, Kobe Paysour, and tight end John Copenhaver.
The UNC defensive unit forced 21 turnovers this season.
West Virginia will aim to close their season on a high note tonight.
The Mountaineers represent a record of 8-4.
West Virginia won four of their last five games, with their lone loss coming against Oklahoma.Â
Junior Garrett Greene leads the West Virginia offense. The Tallahassee, Florida native has thrown for 2,178 yards, 15 touchdowns, and four interceptions.
CJ Donaldson Jr. leads the West Virginia rushing attack. The sophomore has scampered for 798 yards and 11 touchdowns.
Senior Devin Carter was the favorite target of Greene. Cater leads the squad with 501 yards and two touchdowns.
The West Virginia defense ranks 74th in points allowed per game (28.5).
Let’s jump into my best for tonight.
UNC vs. West Virginia Pick
This is a terrific spot for the Mountaineers tonight.
UNC will start an inexperienced quarterback who will struggle to string drives together.
On the flip side, West Virginia will have success offensively as they face a below-average Heels defense.
West Virginia was one of the best teams in college football at taking care of the ball this season, and they will win the game and the turnover margin tonight.
