Tar Heels Unbeaten in ACC Play
No. 13 UNC Looking to Roll
The chances to bet online for college football are starting to get smaller as we are nearing the end of the regular season. The North Carolina Tar Heels host the Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets in a key ACC game on Saturday afternoon.
Georgia Tech comes into this game with a record of 4-6 and is trying to become bowl eligible. The Yellow Jackets were blown out last week, but they also have some big wins this season.
North Carolina has been a massive surprise in 2022. The Tar Heels are 9-1 overall and a perfect 6-0 in the ACC. The Tar Heels now have their sights set on winning the conference title in 2022.
The college football odds for this game have the North Carolina Tar Heels as 21½-point favorites in this matchup.
Let’s check the latest college football odds, stats, injury reports, and college football lines for Georgia Tech vs North Carolina.
Georgia Tech Can’t Find the End Zone
The offensive numbers for Georgia Tech are rough to look at, but then this team will get hot on random weekends. The Yellow Jackets are scoring just 17 points per game, and that puts way too much pressure on the defense.
Georgia Tech is a team that wants to establish the run early but it has to find some offense through the air as well. Quarterback Jeff Sims has shown some potential, but he has just five touchdown passes.
This game will be on the Georgia Tech defense to keep things close. That unit is allowing 28.7 points per game and that secondary will be tested all afternoon.
Tar Heels Explosive
The North Carolina Tar Heels have a Heisman Trophy candidate in quarterback Drake Maye, who has impressed his head coach Mack Brown. After a huge game earlier this month, Brown said, “He just continues to amaze me with the things that he does.”
Maye has thrown for 3,412 yards and 34 touchdowns to help North Carolina average 40 points. The Tar Heels are racking up over 500 yards of offense per game, and they are a nightmare for opposing defenses to try and contain.
The defense could still use some work for North Carolina, which is allowing 31 points per game. This unit will have to defend the rushing attack of Georgia Tech in this one.
