No. 4: How involved will Cedric Gray be?

Cedric Gray is a beast.

No one who has watched the UNC football program play will argue that notion.

Gray has recorded at least seven tackles in each of the Tar Heels’ six games this season. He has surpassed the 10+ tackle mark twice this season, including last week against Miami.

So, just how many tackles will the senior linebacker have this week?

This prediction is a little more on the fun side, but I’ll say that Gray will end up with 9 total tackles.

There’s no logic behind it; just going with my gut!

Speaking of going with my gut… my last prediction this week has a lot to do with a past prediction I made….
