2025 UNC Football: Schedule, Odds, Preview

UNC entered the 2025 season with a new head coach, as legendary coach Bill Belichick looks to change the program’s trajectory. The roster has undergone major turnover, with more than 50 new players raising concerns about chemistry and a projected win total of just 4.5 games. Belichick’s arrival has lifted expectations, and key transfers such as quarterback Gio Lopez and cornerback Thad Dixon were expected to make an immediate impact. However, a combination of offensive inefficiency and defensive shortcomings has held the Tar Heels back.
