TEAMS:
UNC
MINN

OVER/UNDER:
UNDER 50.5 -110

UNIT: 3.0

ANALYSIS:

Looking anywhere he could for help at QB, Minnesota's PJ Fleck went to the FCS ranks to pull out Max Brosmer, who did lead the division in pass yards (3484) last fall at UNH. The jump from the CAA to the Big Ten is big, however, though Brosmer first gets a look at an ACC stop-unit, where new d c Geoff Collins tries to tighten the screws at UNC. What more intrigues about the "under" in this opener is how this matchup could only reach 44 points last September in Chapel Hill with a livewire like Drake Maye (now NFL patriots) at QB for the Heels. The Tar Heels have a new quarterback to begin this season so they may not be as explosive as previous years. Mack Brown is due a downgrade at QB this fall no matter who takes the snaps. Minnesota has a new defensive coordinator this season. However, they’re 22nd in the nation in returning defensive production.  Minnesota also has a new quarterback with a solid offensive line. The Gophers have only been a home dog once in the PJ Fleck era in week one, but that was to powerhouse Ohio State. Outside of the Buckeyes game, they’re 5-1 SU at home in week one since 2017.Play UNC-Minnesota "Under"
