Brandon Griffin: UNC 45, Virginia Tech 31. I still don’t buy Virginia Tech this season. They havent beaten anyone legit and will be playing their first true road game this week in Chapel Hill.

I believe the turnovers will return and with them UNC will run away from the Hokies.

Blake Cockrum: UNC 38, Virginia Tech 24.  I like UNC in this one. The Tar Heels will challenge Virginia Tech’s defense, particularly in the passing game. Trubisky will throw for 3 touchdowns and the UNC backfield will account for two more.

Zack Pearson: UNC 31, Virginia Tech 23. I really think UNC’s run defense plays better in this game and does so from the start. Quarterback Jerod Evans is one to keep an eye out on as he can beat you both through the air and with his feet.

Look for Trubisky to have another big day as UNC’s win streak stays alive.
