A regional rivalry is on the docket for Saturday and ESPN College GameDay is ready to cover it, as the North Carolina Tar Heels take on the South Carolina Gamecocks at Bank of America Stadium in Charlotte. North Carolina vs. South Carolina props: Odds, predictions and moreNorth Carolina sits as -145 moneyline favorites with South Carolina at +122. The Tar Heels are 2.5-point favorites and the total is 64.5 points . In a series that dates back to 1903, the Tar Heels and the Gamecocks get their respective seasons rolling with an interstate rivalry. North Carolina leads the all-time series 35-20-4 and as the preseason No. 21 ranked team, seek to get their season started on the right foot by tacking on another in the series win column. North Carolina vs. South Carolina pick: North Carolina Moneyline The Tar Heels’ football program has been in ascendance since head coach Mack Brown returned in 2019, leading to a boost in recruiting efforts and results. Led by star quarterback and potential Heisman contender Drake Maye, North Carolina looks to punctuate the start of its season by making a statement against its regional foe South Carolina. The Tar Heels have eight offensive starters returning for 2023, which bodes well for the season ahead where they aim to contend for the ACC Championship. The defense is where the question marks really emerge, as North Carolina allowed 436.5 PPG in 2022, which included a secondary that allowed a whopping 271 yards a game. Gene Chizik’s unit must improve if UNC is to succeed on its aim to capture the ACC -- and beyond. If the Tar Heels can limit the damage from South Carolina quarterback Spencer Rattler and make a play or two on defense, there’s no reason to believe its offense can’t carry the team to a season-opening win. North Carolina vs. South Carolina props: North Carolina first team to 20 points Expect Drake Maye & Co. to come out swinging against South Carolina in Charlotte. In a neutral site game, the Tar Heels will look to quiet the Gamecock faithful in the crowd by scoring early and often. Maye introduced himself to North Carolina fans by tossing four touchdowns in the first-half against Florida A & M in UNC’s opening game -- that hot start should be the expectation against South Carolina.You must be over 21 to play.
