We made it! Game Day has arrived. In a few short hours, the TCU Horned Frogs will kick off the much-anticipated 2025 season. We will finally get to see this team in action.
TCU takes on the North Carolina Tar Heels as the Bill Belichick era begins in Chapel Hill. The game is at 7 p.m. CT and can be seen on ESPN.
This will only be the fourth meeting between the two programs. The Tar Heels have won all three previous meetings. The last meeting was in Fort Worth in 1997, with UNC, who was ranked No. 5 at the time, winning 31-10.
These same two teams will kick off the 2026 season, as well, when they meet in the Aer Lingus College Football Classic in Dublin, Ireland, on August 29, 2026.
Our staff is almost nearly unanimous in picking TCU to win this one. Our average margin is nine points.
