Free Duke's Mayo Bowl Pick

The Tar Heels won only one true road game this season, and that was over the lowly Panthers back in September. They did get the win in their season opener, beating the Gamecocks on a neutral field. UNC has lost their last three on the road. Correcting that trend may be difficult with their starting QB Drake Maye skipping the game WR Conner Harrell, top WR Tez Walker, and top TE Bryson Nesbit out.

The WVU comes in relatively healthy. They’ll be missing their leading yardage RB CJ Donaldson Jr., but Jahiem White has taken over as the No. 1 back and looks like a potential star, averaging 8.2 yards per carry. The Mountaineers didn’t beat all that much this season, but in two of their losses, they played tough. They were tied with Oklahoma State until halfway through the 4th, and they lost to Houston on the last play of the game.
