Spread on the Clemson vs. UNC Game

The Clemson vs. UNC game was coming in at Tigers -27.

TV: 3:30 p.m. ET, ABC. LINE: Clemson -26.5

ABOUT CLEMSON (4-0, 2-0 ACC): The Tigers' offense has some serious big-play potential and already has scored six touchdowns of 50 yards or longer. Etienne has rolled up 395 yards and four touchdowns on the ground, and Lawrence will have one of his favorite receivers back with Justyn Ross returning after missing the game against Charlotte with a sore hip flexor. The defense has been just as dominant, holding each opponent under 300 total yards and racking up 16 sacks.

ABOUT NORTH CAROLINA (2-2, 1-0): The Tar Heels have played well enough on offense as freshman quarterback Sam Howell has been solid, passing for 256 yards per game with nine touchdowns and two interceptions. Javonte Williams has averaged a team-high 74.8 rushing yards per game, but the Tar Heels have run for only one touchdown, resulting in too many field goals from the red zone. The defense played well against South Carolina but has struggled in the last three games, especially against the run, so it could be a long day against Clemson's dynamic attack.
