Clemson Football: Pick Against the Spread vs. UNC 2019

The Clemson football team will take on the North Carolina Tar Heels Saturday afternoon in Chapel Hill. Here’s our pick against the spread in the match up.

The Clemson football team improved to 4-0 on the season and 3-1 against the spread with a 52-10 win over the Charlotte 49ers.

The Tigers had a 41.5-point spread coming into the game and ended up winning by 42, just for reference.

Clemson football comes into the match up with North Carolina as a heavy favorite, as well. Here’s our pick against the spread for the Tigers’ game against the Tar Heels.

Clemson vs. UNC Spread Prediction:

Current Spread: Clemson -26.5

Spread Prediction:

Until they prove it wrong, I’m going to take Clemson football to cover the spread. The Tigers are four touchdowns better than UNC and I don’t think they’ll have much trouble winning this game in Chapel Hill.

North Carolina will come out firing hoping to pull off an upset and end a skid of two-straight losses, but if the Tigers get up a couple of scores, the Tar Heels will likely fold. North Carolina has had a way-too-emotional season to this point, playing every game down to wire. That will likely be spent out in this one and Clemson covers that 26.5 point spread.

Over/Under: 61

Over/Under Prediction:

When looking at the over/under, we should begin noticing a spread. In most cases this season [other than the Georgia Tech game], Clemson football has gone ‘under’ the number. That has been a credit to the Tigers’ defense.

You don’t go against trends, so I’m going to take the ‘under,’ as well. Expect a score similar to 42-10, 45-7, or 52-7. Something in that range.

North Carolina won’t score more than 14 points Saturday and Clemson will likely score somewhere between 42-56. That could mean an ‘over,’ but you have to take trends until otherwise proven.
