North Carolina football can make a statement over Florida State football in primetime.

North Carolina football looks to improve to 4-0 over Florida State football on Saturday night.

Mack Brown‘s North Carolina Tar Heels enter Week 7 with a 3-0 record and a No. 5 ranking inside of the AP Top 25 Poll. The Tar Heels may be ready to challenge the likes of the Clemson Tigers and the Notre Dame Fighting Irish in ACC play this year, but none of that is going to matter if they don’t get a road victory they should over a rebuilding Florida State Seminoles team on Saturday night.

Here is how to watch Florida State football vs. North Carolina football online.

Date: Saturday, Oct. 17
Time: 7:30 p.m. ET
Location: Tallahassee, Florida
Venue: Doak Campbell Stadium
Betting Odds: North Carolina -13.5, O/U: 64.5

North Carolina will be laying a massive 13.5 points on the road vs. Florida State. The associated money lines for this game are North Carolina -525 and Florida State +420. This game’s over/under comes in at a combined 64.5 points. There has been considerable action on the opening point spread, as it was as low as North Carolina -9.5. Odds are from Odds Shark.

Saturday night is a huge spot for Brown’s program, as well as his star quarterback Sam Howell. He might play in the same ACC as Trevor Lawrence at Clemson, but Howell could begin to put together his own Heisman Trophy candidacy if he goes off against a struggling team like Florida State. If the Tar Heels don’t blow out the Seminoles, then we have some concerns for UNC.

Look for North Carolina to win and cover the 13.5-point spread. This one hits on the over thanks in large part to a six-touchdown performance out of Howell. He throws five and takes one in himself. Along with a pair of UNC field goals, the Tar Heels double the Seminoles’ point total to win this one easily. North Carolina may get into to the top four depending on how Georgia vs. Alabama goes.

Pick: North Carolina 48, Florida State 24
