2025 UNC Football: Schedule, Odds, Preview

UNC has a new head coach for the 2025 season, with the arrival of legendary coach Bill Belichick aiming to change the program’s trajectory. The roster has seen massive turnover, with over 50 new players, bringing concerns about team chemistry and a projected win total of 4.5 games. But Belichick’s presence alone has elevated expectations, and key transfers, including quarterback Gio Lopez and cornerback Thad Dixon, were expected to make an immediate impact. Lopez is dealing with a leg injury, but could be ready to play by Clemson's game.
