It’s Championship Saturday, and while I bet more underdogs throughout the season, the better teams typically win in the title games.
Clemson was probably the most overrated team in college football this season. The Tigers’ two best wins were over N.C. State and Florida State. Clemson got exposed at the end of the year, but so did their opponents on Saturday, North Carolina.
North Carolina lost its last two games of the season at home to fledgling Georgia Tech and with N.C. State down to its third-string quarterback. The issue with the Tar Heels all season has been a defense that can’t stop anyone. UNC ranks 117th in total defense and 104th in scoring defense.New customers only. Must be 21+.

Look for the Tigers to take a page out of Notre Dame’s playbook from when the Irish beat UNC 45-32 in late September. In that game, Notre Dame rushed for 287 yards and that helped open up things for quarterback Drew Pyne who threw for 289 yards — his second highest output of the season. I expect a similar game plan from Clemson. The Tigers haven’t been great as a favorite this year but look for them to score at will and cover the 7.5 here.
