After getting a good dose of college football, even if North Carolina football came up short in their attempt for a come back versus #19 Louisville, it’s time to once again focus on the former Tar Heels now at the next level. As I will do most Sundays I am splitting the match ups between the early and the late ones. For the 1:00 p.m. EST games, which in all are nine, over half of them, five to be precise, have a touch of carolina blue, with a trio having former UNC players on both side lines. Another stat for those of you that like these kind of things… three teams playing in the early games, Giants ~ Bengals ~ Bills, have multiple former Carolina players on their rosters. All the information used is a combination from UNC Pro’s and ourlads web sites, along with some stuff I gathered as well. But now, with further interruptions, let’s get going with the nine early games for Sunday, September 16, 2012…
