The North Carolina athletic program has gone through academic fraud allegations of major proportions this season, and includes not just the football team but also the basketball team. There always seems to be a cloud of scandal surrounding the school. Nonetheless, North Carolina scored nice wins over Georgia Tech and Duke in the second half of the season to cement this bowl bid.

 

However, BetAnySports Top Rated Reduced Juice USA Online Sportsbook customers know that they are challenged defensively, allowing 34 points or more on eight different occasions. Overall, they ranked 115th in the country, giving up five yards per carry, 8.5 yards per passing attempt and 29 touchdown passes. That has the potential of making things rough against Rutgers quarterback Gary Nova, who is capable of having a big day, as he did against Michigan on October 4, when he threw for 404 yards. Nova is closing in on the school’s yardage record for QB’s, but he has been extremely inconsistent, often drawing the ire of coach Kyle Flood, and he will be without one of his top weapons in this one. Running back Mike James is out, although his leading receiver, Leonte Carroo, who averaged almost 20 yards per reception and is contemplating making himself available in the NFL draft, is listed as probable after an upper body injury.

The bad news for Rutgers is that in some ways its stop unit is even worse than North Carolina’s; they allowed 27 touchdowns on the ground, as well is 5.6 yards per carry. North Carolina’s quarterback, Marquise Williams, is a dual threat, with 737 rushing yards and 2870 through the air. He is perfectly capable of taking control of games.

College football bettors who are looking closely at this total will see some contrasting trends as far as these two teams are concerned. Rutgers has played five of its last seven games over the total, while North Carolina has gone “under” in four of its last five.
