Syracuse Vs North Carolina (Under 59)

Syracuse/North Carolina Under 59 (-110)

Drake Maye has been carving up defenses through 4 weeks but they welcome a respectable Syracuse defense in this one. Only 3 of these teams 9 games so far this season have gotten to 60 points and I expect this one to stay under that mark as well. UNC gets back WR Tez Walker for this one but both offenses have leaned on the run game (NC - running 53.16% / Cuse - running 52.41%) which should keep the clock running.

That said, they both land in the top 50 in rushing defense:

North Carolina

OPP Yds/rush - 3.7 (ranked 49th)

OPP Rush Yds/game - 124.3 (ranked 46th)

Syracuse

OPP Yds/rush - 3.1 (ranked 19th)

OPP Rush Yds/game - 107 (ranked 29th)

Both defenses are have also proved strong in the Redzone this season-

North Carolina: OPP Scoring on 73.33% of Redzone trips (ranked 24th)

Syracuse: OPP Scoring on 53.85% of Redzone trips (ranked 5th)

Take away the 2 games in which these defenses gave up the most points and they are averaging 14.3 pts/against (Syracuse) & 18 pts/against (North Carolina). I don't think this one gets to the 60's, take the under.

Go Defense!
