1. Miami (vs. North Carolina)

Are you ready for a shootout? Two high-powered offenses are matching up against two defenses that can give up plenty of yards.

Three months ago this was looked at as a possible ACC title play-in game. Now, both teams are playing for pride. Miami is 9-1, while North Carolina is a disappointing 7-3. Two of the Tar Heels’ three losses came against very average teams in Florida State and Virginia.

North Carolina is 2-2 on the road and that doesn’t bode well for a game that’s happening in Miami. But the Heels and their 41 points per game can take advantage of a Hurricanes team that may come out flat now that their ACC Title hopes are officially gone.

For North Carolina to win, they absolutely have to stop D’Eriq King. King has over 2,300 yards and 20 passing touchdowns along with 467 yards and four touchdowns on the ground. King can hurt you a lot of ways and taking away even one of his options will go a long way in helping North Carolina.

This could be a game where the first to 50 walks away with a win.
