North Carolina Tar Heels vs Boston College Eagles Prediction, Odds and Picks for Today, 11/23/24

The noon slate brings us some ACC action, and we are here with a North Carolina Tar Heels vs Boston College Eagles prediction. This is projected to be a nasty weather game, with temperatures in the 40s, some rain and winds around 20 mph. It’s the kind of day that the big boys up front love and all the fast, skinny guys hate. UNC comes in as the favorite, riding a 3-game winning streak that has salvaged its season. Boston College needs to win one of its last 2 to get bowl eligible. The Eagles have had a tough draw as far as the schedule goes, and 4 losses in their last 5 games include trips to SMU and Virginia Tech as well as to Louisville. I am looking for the Eagles to potentially win this one, so I will take the points.

These teams are similar in a lot of ways. One similarity is that both have made mid-season changes at quarterback. That has also meant that both teams prefer to run the ball whenever they can, and they are in their better offensive mode when on the ground. For Carolina, that rushing attack is led by Omarion Hampton. He is a fantastic RB and he logged a 244-yard stat line just last week. For BC, the rushing attack is led by a veteran offensive line. Both defenses are better against the run than the pass, too, and in the rainy conditions this game should turn into a battle in the trenches. For me, I like the BC offensive line — and I like the motivation spot for the Eagles, especially on a nasty weather day.
