Here are three predictions for the UNC football program’s final home game of the 2023 college football regular season against rival Duke. 

Can you believe this weekend is the final home game of the season for the UNC football program?!

Feels like yesterday we started the season, as it’s been quite the road to get to where the Tar Heels are at this point in time.

Of course, we all thought this game would have major ACC title (and potential College Football Playoff) ramifications, but things haven’t gone as planned for either side as they prepare for the annual Tobacco Road Rivalry contest.

The UNC football program didn’t take care of business, losing two straight conference bouts to Virginia and Georgia Tech. Duke has been without star quarterback Riley Leonard, as their early season hopes have taken a hit similar to the Tar Heels.

Even though it’s not the spotlight we all expected, there’s still plenty to get hyped about ahead of this matchup.

For starters, if you can’t get excited about North Carolina vs. Duke in any sport, we simply don’t know what to tell ya!

It will be “Senior Day” for North Carolina, marking what likely will be Drake Maye’s final home game at Kenan Stadium.

Is someone cutting onions?!

If you know me, you know I’m a very superstitious person. Last week, we shifted to three predictions, and it resulted in a blowout victory over Campbell.

I definitely am not taking any chances by changing it back this week!

Here are three predictions for the UNC football program’s upcoming contest against rival Duke.
