The North Carolina Tar Heels hit the road in Week 2 of the college football season, facing off against the Charlotte 49ers. Both teams enter this game at 0-1, suffering losses in Week 1.
For North Carolina, there was a lot of excitement around the debut of new head coach Bill Belichick. But that quickly went away even after UNC led 7-0. TCU took over the game, scoring 40-unanswered points and routed the Tar Heels in the opener.
But even though North Carolina is a double-digit favorite, this game won't be an easy one. Charlotte will be upset minded as they host the Tar Heels and they are hoping they can make it an 0-2 start for Bill Belichick in his first year as head coach.

UNC vs. Charlotte prediction, picks, odds
The Tar Heels are double-digit favorites in this game with the line set to 13.5. They are the better team on paper but being on the road could present some issues. Plus, can you trust this team after what we saw last week?
On the flip side, TCU was a really good team. I don't think Charlotte is. This is a game the Tar Heels should be able to take care of and win.
