KEY MATCHUP UNC QB Drake Maye vs. N.C. State LB Payton Wilson. Maye and Wilson are two of the league's top players leading units that will present tough challenges to each other. Maye is sixth in the Bowl Subdivision ranks in passing (304.9) and second in total offense (336.1) at the helm of a prolific attack (third in FBS at 514.8 yards per game).
The Wolfpack has won three consecutive games and held its last two opponents to six points each. It hopes to continue the streak and win in Blacksburg for the first time since 2004.
Line: Virginia Tech by 3, according to FanDuel Sportsbook. The Hokies need to win one of their last two games to reach bowl eligibility in Brent Pry's second year as coach after a 3-8 record in his first. The Wolfpack are already bowl-eligible and 2-0 in November for the first time since 2008 when redshirt freshman QB Russell Wilson led them to four straight victories.
Line: Pitt by 1 1/2, according to FanDuel Sportsbook. The Orange need to win two of their last three to become bowl eligible for a second straight year, which could be a tough ask considering Syracuse is riding a five-game losing streak, all but one of them by at least 17 points. Pitt will miss a bowl for the first time since 2017, though a win over their longtime rival at Yankee Stadium would provide a nice moment in a season in which they have been few and far between.
Line: North Carolina by 14 1/2, according to FanDuel Sportsbook. Duke says UNC leads 64-41-4, UNC says its lead is 63-40-1. It's the latest renewal of a longtime instate rivalry between charter ACC members.
