Last Saturday, North Carolina took their match at home with ease, bagging a 40-7 win over Syracuse. The matchup was pretty much decided by the half, when the score had already reached 27-0.

Drake Maye was on fire, as he threw for 442 yards and three touchdowns, and also punched in a touchdown on the ground. Maye's performance was especially impressive as it was the first time he's posted a passer rating above 170 this season. Another player making a difference was Kobe Paysour, who picked up 100 receiving yards and a touchdown.

Special teams was a major factor in the game for North Carolina, racking up 16 points in total. All those points came courtesy of Noah Burnette: he added 12 points with four field goals, and another four kicking extra points.

Meanwhile, Miami (FL) finally witnessed the end of their four-game winning streak on Saturday. They fell just short of Georgia Tech by a score of 23-20. Despite 203 more yards than Georgia Tech, Miami (FL) couldn't convert that extra yardage to scores.

North Carolina's victory lifted them to 5-0 while Miami (FL)'s defeat dropped them down to 4-1.

Looking ahead to Saturday, North Carolina is the favorite in this one, as the experts expect to see them win by four points. This contest will be their sixth straight as the favorites (so far over this stretch they are 4-1 against the spread).
