The W. Virginia Mountaineers has not been hit as hard in terms of opt-outs and portal transfers as Carolina has. When you lose your quarterback who is projected to be the no.1 or 2 pick in the draft, your offense is going to take a hit. Harrell will be making his first career start for the Tar Heels. The freshman quarterback will also be without some of the team’s top weapons. West Virginia will have pretty much all of their starters for this one. Down the stretch, the Tar Heels went 1-4 ATS over their last five games while the Mountaineers went 3-2 ATS over the same span. Without  Maye and Walker going for the Heels, the Mountaineers had a significant advantage. I look for West Virginia to try to run and succeed in running the ball against the Heels' 89th-ranked run defense. North Carolina always has the ability to just outscore everyone but that ability is gone in this one. Take the Mountaineers in this one.
