unc-6.5 at miami

That number's a bit surprising.

I could understand 3 or something like that, but a TD favorite on the road?

I think this only benefits our young team. They can't be ****y with any opponent, with that said I hope they don't come out flat from a loss similar to bcc

UNC beat Elon, Idaho and East Carolina for 3 of their 4 wins. Their other win came against 2-3 Virginia Tech. They lost to Wake, which is like losing to Boston College. They have a great offense, but their numbers are skewed because they put up 60+ against both Elon and Idaho. They have a great RB and a good QB, and will put up yards and points against us, but for them to favored by 6.5 on the road, is a near jerk reaction to us losing to Notre Dame. UNC is not better than NC State, or not much better, and we beat them. Being favored by 6.5 on the road is like being favored by 9.5 or 10 at a neutral site. I know it's the cool thing to do to post "118" or "we're bad" or whatever, but UNC is not that much better than us, if they are better at all. This will be a shootout and a tossup.

I hear you, but, all that said, anyone who has watched this defense all year should understand the spread. It's that bad on D. And I'm no Debbie Downer, I think we can do fine if the O picks back up, but we all know the story on D...we're 6 games in now.

And has been that good on offense against ok to bad defenses, which UNC is. VT put up 34 on UNC. The spread makes no sense.
 
We're definitely more battle tested. Need to parlay that into an early lead.

Still... having trouble feeling confident. We've had an emotional roller coaster every game minus BCC and UNC seems legit.

i don't think anyone is feeling confident. I wasn't confident up 19-0 on GT, 41-23 on BC and 23-7 on NCSU

Well said.
 
Miami and Unc will likely play a close game. But a 17 pt win for eother team also shouldnt shock.

They put up 48 on VT last week and we gave up **** near 400 yards rushing and 41 to a much worse offense in Notre Dame.

Those other games don't mean ****. College football is a "what have you done for me lately" game.

I agree with you though that the line is pretty shocking.
