Needing to turn a season around, the Clemson Tigers head to North Carolina on Saturday at noon, expected to do just that by oddsmakers.
Dabo Swinney’s team, despite a 1-3 record coming off last week’s bye and not a single spread cover this season, enters the game as a 14-point favorite. They lost their last game as a more than two-touchdown favorite at home to Syracuse, right after dropping a field-goal game at Georgia Tech as a slight favorite.
The points might not matter on Saturday to the Tigers, who just need an ACC victory, but for bettors, Clemson is a hard sell.
