No. 20 North Carolina @ Clemson (-6.5) (O/U 58.5)

Evan: Jake Maye is statistically one of the best QBs in the country and will one day make a boatload of money in the NFL. That said, the refs somehow missed a giant standing in the endzone as he crouched to avoid an illegible receiver penalty during the second OT of the North Carolina/Duke game. But, wins are wins and their season stays on track. I love the Tar Heels ML here. North Carolina +6.5

Justin: Tyler from Spartanburg was a plant to get Dabo to go off and motivate his team to play and you’ll never convince me otherwise. I don’t think that can last for long though. North Carolina +6.5

Andrew: UNC has not looked impressive over the past few weeks. And Clemson seems to have actually turned things around some. I think the Tigers get it done at home. Clemson -6.5

Ethan: Garrett Riley deserves a more fun job. Free Garrett Riley. Let him fly. Also, Clemson’s defense is legit. I’m going with the Tigers. Clemson -6.5

Ryan: Clemson has seemed to find their identity again and coming back into the form they are known for. North Carolina seems to be fading. I’ll take Clemson here. Clemson -6.5

John: Clemson might be putting something together? Maybe? It’s been a down year, but I think they pull this one out. Getting the half-point less than a TD gives me a little more faith in the cover. Clemson -6.5
