OUR PREDICTION: North Carolina has won seven straight road games, which is the sixth-longest active streak in the FBS. As an unranked team, the Tar Heels have won three straight games against ranked opponents, which all have happened on the road. Seeing as how the Tar Heels cruised to a 59-21 win over Miami last season, I’ll happily take the points with UNC today with the Hurricanes coming off a crushing loss to their biggest rival.
