North Carolina vs. West Virginia

The important thing to know is there will be no Drake Maye in this game as he prepares for the NFL Draft. The offense will miss a lot of offensive starters, including leading receiver Devontez Walker as well as the top two tight ends Bryson Nesbit and John Copenhaver. West Virginia has far fewer opt-outs; defensive lineman Mike Lockhart and safety Hershey McLaurin are the two more notable players, but other than that, they'll have most of their starters. Even with their full assortment of players, the Tar Heels went 2-4 to end the season, while the Mountaineers went 4-1. WVU will have CJ Donaldson Jr., Jahiem White, and Garrett Greene, who accumulated 2,298 rushing yards and 27 rushing touchdowns against a depleted UNC defense that was 86th in rushing yards allowed.

If we going to say that West Virginia's run game will get them the win, then we have to give a rushing prop. Garrett Greene has been a menace both in the air and on the ground recently, with over 200 passing yards and 100 rushing yards in back-to-back games. Those opponents (Baylor and Cincinnati) were in the bottom 30 in rushing yards allowed, but with UNC being in the bottom 50, Greene should be able to hit half that.

With Walker, Nesbit, and Copenhaver out, J.J. Jones should get an even bigger share of the targets. The Mountaineers were 81st in defensive pass success and 92nd in passing yards allowed. Even with a less-experienced quarterback, Jones should be able to hit this number.
