North Carolina vs UConn Preview & Picks
UConn are backed to cover as a slight underdog in the Fenway Bowl.
The Huskies can lean on a dominant run game and a strong run defense against a North Carolina team playing under a temporary head coach and without star Omarion Hampton.
- UConn are 5-3-2 ATS this season
- UConn are 2-1-0 ATS in their last 3 games as a betting underdog
- North Carolina are 2-9-1 ATS this season
- The Under has hit in 5 of North Carolina’s last 8 games
Head To Head
- North Carolina lead the all-time series 3-0
- North Carolina won 12-10 when the two teams last met in September 2009
North Carolina Form
North Carolina lost their final two games of the regular season to finish 6-6, costing Mack Brown his job as head coach.
The Tar Heels have replaced him with legendary NFL head coach Bill Belichick but he will not take over until after this game.
Belichick will inherit a team that started the season with three straight non-conference wins, only to then lose four games in a row.
North Carolina rebounded on the road with wins over Virginia, 41-14, and Florida State, 35-11, before returning home to down Wake Forest, 31-24.
The Tar Heels failed to keep that run going though, as they wrapped up the regular season with a 41-20 defeat at Boston College and a 35-30 home loss to NC State.
UConn Form
UConn earned themselves a Bowl Game invite by putting together an 8-4 record during the regular season.
The Huskies lost two of their first three games, but rallied in late September with a three-game win streak.
They then bounced back from a 23-20 loss to Wake Forest with another run of three consecutive wins, beating Rice 17-10 and Georgia State 34-27 at home, and UAB 31-23 on the road.
UConn failed to make it four wins in a row, as they suffered a 31-24 road defeat at the hands of Syracuse.
The Huskies did end the regular season with a win though, downing Massachusetts in a shootout, 47-42.
Verdict
Bill Belichick to North Carolina has made massive headlines, but he is not a factor here.
The Tar Heels have an interim head coach and just lost their biggest weapon on offense, so give us UConn and the points against a team that has rarely covered all season.
