After a tough loss, North Carolina is going to be in need of a bounce-back game and there is no better opponent for that than Georgia Tech. The Yellow Jackets got off to a decent start last season and even upset North Carolina in Atlanta. However, Georgia Tech finished the season horribly and has lost several of their best players entering the transfer portal. It might be the last season in Atlanta for head coach Geoff Collins.

North Carolina football is not going to forget how it got embarrassed by Georgia Tech last season. The Yellow Jackets will be one of the worst teams in the ACC and North Carolina wins this one in a blowout.

Final Score: North Carolina 52, Georgia Tech 13 (8-3, 5-2)

For the final game of the season for North Carolina, the Tar Heels will meet their in-state rivals for a game on the day after Thanksgiving.

NC State was able to come away with a win in a classic game last season in what was one of the funnest games to watch last season. The Wolfpack are going to be considered one of the contenders to win the ACC this season because of the wealth of returning talent coming back, including quarterback Devin Leary.

When NC State usually has expectations, they tend to fall short. They will have a good enough team to beat North Carolina for the second straight season however and the Tarheels will end their season with another loss to the Wolfpack.
