Will Hill backs North Carolina and Jets for upset wins

Fox Sports analyst Will Hill has backed North Carolina to upset Clemson in college football Week 3, while tipping the New York Jets to beat the Green Bay Packers in NFL Week 2.

North Carolina is in its second season under head coach Bill Belichick. Hill says the Tar Heels opened 2026 with an upset win over TCU before defeating East Tennessee State 35–3.

Hill points to Clemson’s expected use of 19-year-old true freshman backup quarterback Tait Reynolds. He also cites an expected low-scoring contest, with the over-under set at 43.5, and says Belichick’s defensive experience could prove decisive.

In the NFL matchup, the Jets are scheduled to host Green Bay after defeating Tennessee 23–10 in Week 1. Hill says New York limited the Titans to three points and just over 100 yards of offence before a late touchdown.

Hill’s case against Green Bay rests on the Packers’ 0–1 start and a series of late-game failures, including defeats late in the 2025 regular season, a playoff loss after surrendering an 18-point lead and another blown double-digit lead against Minnesota.
