Facing North Carolina this Saturday isn&#8217;t expected to help that cause according to college football oddsmakers at Bovada, who set the line 14-points in favor of the home team Tar Heels.<\/p>\n<p>UNC is 3-5 on the season and 2-3 in ACC play, but the team would be far better if not for its mediocre defense, which allows 26.6 points per game. The team is a good threat via the pass, ranking 19th in the nation with 302 passing yards per game, but it isn&#8217;t getting enough from the rush, barely generating 100 yards per game on the ground.<\/p>\n<p>The Tar Heels have a two-game win streak after a 34-10 victory over Boston College and a 27-19 win over NC State. After this week, the team will face Pitt, Old Dominion and Duke to close out its season.<\/p>\n<p>Bryn Renner has been the QB behind the attack. Renner has thrown for 1,765 yards on the season with a 65.8 percent completion ratio, 10 TDs and five INTs. No UNC back averages more than 4.4 yards per carry and the team has scored just eight rush TDs on the year.<\/p>\n<p>Virginia is riding a six-game losing streak and gave up 59 points to Clemson last week. The defense has been horrible, allowing 32 points per game this season, while the Cavaliers just can&#8217;t generate that kind of production themselves.<\/p>\n<p>The Cavs average just 21.2 points per game and aren&#8217;t particularly dangerous via the rush or the pass. Featured back Kevin Parks has been productive, but unspectacular with 696 yards but just a 4.4 yard per carry average.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Virginia Trends: <\/strong> OVER 5-0 in last 5 overall; OVER 7-0 in last 7 following SU loss of more than 20 points; OVER 4-0 in last 4 after allowing 40 points or more in previous game.<\/p>\n<p><strong>North Carolina Trends:<\/strong> UNDER 5-0 in last 5 conf games; UNDER 4-0 in last 4 on grass; UNDER 4-0 in last 4 overall.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Head to head:<\/strong> UNDER 4-0-1 in last 5 in North Carolina; UNDER 6-1-1 in last 8 meetings; Cavaliers 9-4 ATS in last 13 meetings.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.madduxsports.com\/college-football-betting.html\">Check out our paid pick plans for the remainder of the 2013-14 NCAA football season!<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Virginia-North Carolina Time: Saturday, Nov 9, 2013 at 12:30 PM ET Spread: UNC -14 Odds courtesy of Bovada It&#8217;s been a tough season for the 2-7 Virginia Cavaliers, who have yet to pick up their first win in ACC play after five tries.
