Virginia Tech at UNC 10/13/18 - NCAA Football Picks & Predictions

The Virginia Tech Hokies (3 - 2, 2 - 0 CONF) are drawing a tough road matchup this week against the hometown North Carolina Tar Heels (1 - 3, 1 - 1 CONF). North Carolina will be hosting this game at the Kenan Stadium in Chapel Hill, NC. North Carolina comes to town a week removed from being dominated by #16 Miami in a devastating loss. Virginia Tech was also beaten up on last week, losing to #6 Notre Dame. Both teams will be looking for a big bounceback game in this one.

Virginia Tech hits the field with a team that has been inconsistent at best on offense. Virginia Tech is averaging 35 PPG on offense this season while pulling in 470 yards from scrimmage per outing. Virginia Tech has shown the ability to pound the ball and air it out but North Carolina will be ready for them. Virginia Tech is led on offense by the play of QB Ryan Willis (836 yards, 6 TD, 1 INT). North Carolina has really struggled to get going this season and the Tar Heels would definitely love to get a home win here. North Carolina is scoring only 21 PPG on offense this season while racking up just under 380 yards of total offense per game. North Carolina runs the ball well and if the Tar Heels want to get a win then they'll have to focus on ball control in order to grind out the clock.
