5 Predictions for the UNC football vs. Syracuse football battle

The UNC football program takes on Syracuse on Saturday afternoon in Chapel Hill. We gave five predictions for what we think will go down in the contest.

When your favorite college football team has a “bye week,” it leaves a weird void in your regularly scheduled weekend plans.

That was the case last weekend for the UNC football program, as the Tar Heels enjoyed some rest and relaxation before they had to begin preparing for their upcoming ACC battle with Syracuse.

It’s not often that these two programs square off. In fact, this is the first matchup between the two teams since 2020 and just the third time over the last 20 seasons that they have played against each other.

Although it isn’t a common conference tilt, it is one that is very important for both teams.

The Tar Heels look to improve to 5-0 on the season, while the Orange come in hoping to rebound from a disappointing loss against Clemson. In terms of ACC standings, this is a game that both teams view as a “must-win.”

As we prepare for kickoff on Saturday afternoon in Chapel Hill, here are five predictions for the battle between the UNC football program and the Syracuse Orange.
