Randy’s Free Pick
The North Carolina Tar Heels are going to get the benefit of the doubt at home, but they’ve been a bit underwhelming lately, and this is a lot of points for a Clemson team that plays elite defense. The Clemson Tigers don’t get outscored in the underdog role, and they lose on the road by an average of just 0.3 points. Clemson is a tough out every night. Give me the points.
