Predictions and Betting Preview for the North Carolina Tar Heels vs Florida A&M Rattlers College Football Game on August 27 2022
Where: Kenan Memorial Stadium, Chapel Hill, North Carolina
When: Saturday, August 27, 2022, 8:15 PM ET
Betting on the North Carolina Tar Heels
Regular season record: 0-0
Spread: North Carolina -10
Moneyline: TBA
Over/Under: 45.5
North Carolina had a record of 6-7 in the FBS and 4-5 in the ACC Conference in the 2021 season. It’s possible this doesn’t indicate much strength on the team’s side, but they will now face a more complex challenge as they continue to look for a new starting quarterback following the departure of quarterback Sam Howell to the NFL.
We don’t yet know how long it will take the offense to acclimate to a new quarterback and new players. Perhaps the plan will be to focus on offensive and in this way prevent the opponent’s offense from doing any harm.
Betting on the Florida A&M Rattlers
Regular season record: 0-0
Spread: Florida A&M +10
Moneyline: TBA
Over/Under: 45.5
Florida A& M, meanwhile, tallied a 9-3 FCS record, while their conference record was 7-1. Those figures speak favorably of the Rattlers, who performed well both offensively and defensively last season, and a similar performance is predicted for this season. Receiver Xavier Smith is back, and this is certainly good news, as he is expected to be the quarterback’s primary target to optimize the offense.
The aerial game could be the key for Florida A&M, if the Tar Heels focus on defending.
JefeBet Prediction
In spite of the significant losses, North Carolina has several renowned players on its roster and in this home game they have a slight advantage to win.
Pick: North Carolina Tar Heels win.
