Greg McElroy picked North Carolina over TCU — and hit

Why Greg McElroy picked them: McElroy leaned UNC after the host clocked his Tar Heel-blue tie. He said last year's offense was among the worst in the country, so they need competent offense from Bobby Petrino and Billy Edwards, while the defense already played well.

The displayed number is a dated event-level Kalshi snapshot, not live odds and not necessarily the market when the original prediction was spoken or first captured.

Chip Patterson also picked North Carolina. Paul Finebaum and Will Compton picked TCU. The full split is on the game page.
