Wofford Terriers vs. North Carolina Tar Heels Prediction

I’m looking at Wofford and the points here. I don’t think the final score against Tennessee tells the whole story as Wofford was competitive against the Vols in that game, and I had real concerns for North Carolina against Western Carolina if I’m being honest. The Tar Heels have the name brand here and this may not be the strongest Wofford team compared to past seasons, but I think that Wofford remains competitive in this one so I’ll take a shot on the Terriers and the points here.
