Bill Belichick has his quarterback. North Carolina has named Billy Edwards Jr. the starter for Week 0, with the Tar Heels opening the season against TCU in Ireland. Edwards, a sixth-year passer who has bounced from Wake Forest to Maryland to Wisconsin, beat out Texas A&M transfer Miles O’Neill, redshirt freshman Au’Tori Newkirk and true freshman Travis Burgess for the job. His best season came at Maryland in 2024, when he threw for 2,881 yards and 15 touchdowns and finished fifth in the Big Ten in passing yards. For college football DFS, a Week 0 game in a brand new offense is exactly where the market misprices things. Watch the TCU matchup pricing on Edwards and his top target before the field catches up.
