North Carolina Tar Heels vs Florida State Seminoles Prediction, Odds and Picks for Tomorrow, 11/02/24

The North Carolina Tar Heels take on the Florida State Seminoles in an ACC battle. North Carolina is 4-4 this year, which is not where it wants to be as a program and it is going to struggle to get above its preseason win total of 7.5. The Tar Heels want to win ACC championship, but they haven’t reached that goal since 1980. Florida State won the ACC last year, but this season has not been going near as well. The Seminoles are 1-7 and had a preseason win total of 9.5; saying they haven’t lived up to expectations is an understatement. The only win the Seminoles have this year has come against Cal. They have had a tough schedule but it’s not going to get any easier; so if they are going to start winning, now is the time. 

North Carolina offensively ranks 28th nationally, averaging 33.9 points and 442.4 yards per game. The Tar Heels were on a 4-game losing streak until last week when their offense put up 41 points to beat Virginia. They are not nearly as good defensively, ranking 96th and allowing on average 28.4 points and 385.9 yards per game. North Carolina is a middle of the road ACC team this year. Meanwhile, the ‘Noles rank 83rd defensively and 133rd offensively out of 134 FBS teams. Their schedule has been quite difficult up to this point, including teams like Miami, Clemson and SMU. North Carolina may have 3 more wins than Florida State but only 2 are against Power 5 opponents. UNC is also 1-6-1 against the spread in its last 8 games and hadn’t covered a spread this year until last week against Virginia. Florida State is 3-5 in its last 8 games and has covered 3 of its last 5 games. FSU is not meeting expectations this season but still boasts talent all over the field. North Carolina got a win last week and is fooling people into thinking it is a good football team, but it is no better than Florida State. I’m taking the Seminoles to cover at home.
