NCAA Football Props: Top Player Bets for TCU vs UNC on Monday
In the final game of Week 1's college football schedule, TCU and UNC are set to face off, promising an exciting matchup between two teams with distinct offensive and defensive styles.
Leading TCU's offense is receiver Eric McAlister, who boasts the highest receiving over/under of any player at 76.5 yards. On the other side, UNC's quarterback Gio Lopez is favoured to rush over 33.5 yards, while running back Davion Gause holds the highest rushing yards prop at 69.5.
However, the UNC defense may pose a challenge for TCU's offense. In 2024, the Tar Heels struggled against the run, ranking 83rd in rushing defense and bottom-15 in success rate. Steve Belichick, making his coaching debut with UNC, is expected to deploy a heavy single-high, man coverage scheme in the defense.
Belichick's defensive strategy, coupled with TCU quarterback Josh Hoover's style of play, has led some to question the 289.5-yard passing yards prop for Hoover. Meanwhile, Steve Belichick turned around the University of Washington pass defense last season, suggesting a formidable challenge for TCU's passing game.
Interestingly, there is no information available about which team Steve Belichick coached as defensive coordinator in the 2024 season. Bill Belichick, UNC's head coach, will make his coaching debut with the Tar Heels, with his son Steve Belichick running the defense.
As for TCU, they are currently catching 3.5 points in the game. With both teams eager to start their seasons on a high note, the TCU versus UNC matchup promises to be an exciting one, showcasing a clash of offenses and defenses.
