North Carolina Football: Game-by-game predictions for 2021

A bowl season seems to be a guarantee for the North Carolina football team in 2021 college football season.

North Carolina Football has become one of the top programs to participate in the Atlantic Coast Conference, especially after their performance in 2020. Last season saw them lock an 8-4 record with an Orange Bowl appearance. Can 2021 grant them the same virtues?

Taking a glance at their regular-season schedule, the Tarheels will stand to win the majority of their games, but some stand out as no easy victories.

With a simple out-of-conference slate, and playing as a member of one of the weaker Power 5 squads, an esteemed bowl game is surely within the range of possibility.

Head coach Mack Brown has really turned this team around in the short time since his return to coaching, and recruiting is certainly solid enough to take the ACC by storm.

But which games will stand in the way of the Heels reaching their ultimate goals? Will they be stifled so harshly that they will be kicked out of the ACC title race? Here are the game-by-game predictions for North Carolina football in 2021.
