North Carolina vs Auburn Prediction
With the emotional victories for both teams, it’s going to be what team can bounce back the quickest. I believe that team is going to be North Carolina. RJ Davis is going to have a huge game here and the Auburn defense is going to have no answer here. North Carolina is going to put on a show here, and they are going to put on a show here. Back North Carolina to cover the spread here. I think North Carolina can win this game outright and I will sprinkle a few dollars on that.
