This game is a bit of a mismatch as UNC is the much better team and will put some offense on this Gophers team. There is so much value on this team up to at least 10-14 points in this game and is an easy casher. Minnesota is known for their defense but it's been shaky at best and their QB play needs improvement as it is inconsistent despite them being 2-0. They played Eastern Michigan last week, a much weaker opponent, who kept the game close in the first half. Now they are going up against an elite QB in Drake Maye and a high octane offense with talented players not to mention their improved defensive play. UNC has played two tougher opponents so far in South Carolina and App. St., and have won both games. Take the better here to cash some big value.

Minnesota after allowing 6 points or less last game are 1-3 ATS this season and 3-10 ATS int he last three seasons. Minnesota are 1-4 ATS in their last 5 games. North Carolina are 4-2 ATS in their last 6 games against an opponent in the Big Ten conference. North Carolina are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 games played in week 3.

Best bet: lay the points with UNC.
