College Football 2019: Top 3 under-the-radar games in Week 9

1. Duke at North Carolina

If this was basketball, this would be the game of the week. However, this is still a big rivalry between these two schools and means a lot to both fanbases. Duke is 4-3 heading into the game and North Carolina is 3-4.

Whoever wins this game will be put in a good position to potentially make a bowl game. Both schools are also 2-2 in the Coastal of the ACC, which is up for grabs and completely unpredictable.

Duke has been too similar to every other Coastal school: unpredictable. The Blue Devils are coming off a terrible loss to Virginia where they ended up losing 48-14 and they are looking to bounce back. A few games prior to that they destroyed Virginia Tech and almost beat Pitt, where they lost by three. So, long story short, they have played up and down the whole season.

However, they have a good coach and still have a shot at coming out on top in the ACC Coastal if a few teams find ways to lose.

North Carolina has been in pretty much every ball game it have played this year. The Tar Heels have had some extremely close wins and some heartbreaking losses. The Tar Heels are definitely on the way up and their program is improving from where it has been, but there are still growing pains. True freshman quarterback Sam Howell has been a bright spot for UNC and will look to help them get to a bowl game this year, with plenty of things to be excited about for next season.

North Carolina is favored by 3.5 points and if you’re an ACC football fan, this will be a game worth checking out.
