Clemson vs North Carolina Prediction
I know North Carolina isn’t a good team, as it’s led by one of the worst offenses in the country and has a head coach who may have watched the game pass him by. However, what in the world has Clemson done to deserve to be a double-digit favorite on the road? Clemson has 3 ugly losses and didn’t look convincing in its lone win against Troy. Clemson has underachieved on other sides of the ball and can’t be trusted at the moment. This line feels like oddsmakers haven’t been watching football this season. Clemson has also failed to cover each of its last 6 games as a double-digit favorite, and 2 of those games were outright losses. I’m going to grab the points with North Carolina at home.
