Game Preview
The Tar Heels (7-1, 4-0 ACC) have won four straight games and look to make it five in a row when they travel to Virginia (3-5, 1-4) on Saturday. Since Brown returned to Carolina in 2019, the program has never won four consecutive games in a single season. The Heels did win their last three in 2019 and first three of 2020 for a total of six straight wins under Brown. During his final season of his first tenure in 1997, Brown guided Carolina to an 8-0 start before losing to Florida State.
UNC is in first place in the ACC’s Coastal Division, leading by two games but it’s technically a three-game lead because it owns the tiebreaker over Miami and Duke in second place. Barring a total collapse in its last four games, the Heels will win the division for just the second time ever and claim a spot in the ACC championship game.
Virginia Tech is 2-2 ATS in its ACC games this season. It has covered the spread in winning five straight against NC State, prevailing by double digits in the past four. The physical Hokies should make things tough on Chambers, who has completed 54.5% of his passes so far. They have 13 sacks, with TyJuan Garbutt getting 1.5 against Miami to give him 3.5.
The Hokies are 23-11 straight-up in Thursday games since 1994, going an astonishing 11-4 on the road. Grant Wells is an experienced signal-caller and has 1,439 passing yards this season. He has a playmaking wideout in Kaleb Smith, who is averaging 15.3 yards on his 28 catches, and tight end Nick Gallo (23 catches) is a steady presence.
That sweet spot will be where Virginia Tech’s best chance of winning lies. If the Hokies can run the ball better than UNC and bad weather protects them from Carolina’s aerial attack, Virginia Tech is perfectly capable of grabbing an upset victory.
