After a thrilling, last-second win against rival Duke, UNC football faces off against Virginia in a game that has huge implications in the ACC Coastal race.
Both UNC and Virginia are tied at 3-2 atop the ACC Coastal division. Win this game, and you’re in first place in the division with a good shot at traveling to Charlotte to face off against Clemson in the ACC Championship.
Virginia started out 4-0, but has lost three of its last four games including a 28-21 loss last week to Louisville. If you’re a fan of head-to-head comparisons, the Cavaliers crushed Duke 48-14 two weeks ago.
The Cavaliers are headlined by quarterback Bryce Perkins, who has thrown for nine touchdowns to eight interceptions on the year. While his passing numbers are average, Perkins is a true dual-threat and can present a major test for UNC’s defense on the ground.
At the time of publishing, UNC is a two point favorite over Virginia at home. The Tar Heels have also decided to go with the all-blue uniform combination in this game.

Hulu TV goes for $45/month and includes all ESPN channels, but does not carry MLB Network, NBA TV, NFL Network or NFL Red Zone.
Sling TV is the cheapest at $25/month, but includes the fewest channels. Make sure to avoid Sling Blue, as that package does not carry ESPN.
