North Carolina hosts the Clemson Tigers on Saturday as the Tar Heels freshman phenom Sam Howell tries to work his magic against the #1 team in the country. Trevor Lawrence and the Tigers come into the game undefeated and look for their second ACC win of the year.
This game has a insanely big spread for the home underdogs, but this could get closer than expected as Sam Howell and the Tar Heels have beat two good teams thus far in South Carolina and Miami.

Regardless of the outcome of this game, we are going to see a lot of points scored in Chapel Hill with two high flying offenses taking the field on Saturday.
North Carolina Tar Heels
Sam Howell has thrown for over 1000 yards already in his freshman campaign, adding nine touchdowns and only two interceptions through the first four games. The Tar Heels have dropped their last two games but have looked mountains better when the freshman is in the game.
North Carolina is coming off of a loss to App State last week where they lost a nail biter 34-31 at home and fell to 2-2. Although losing to App State was a surprise for the Tar Hell faithful, App State is not a team that could be looked over.
The Tar Heels will have to pull from that freshman magic that they have seen from Howell in previous games. If the freshman can limit the turnovers on offense and get the Heels moving down the field, they could make this game interesting down the stretch.

The Tar Heels are allowing almost 400 yards of defense a game, playing a real bend but don’t break type defense. They will need to force a couple of turnovers to give their offenses some more chances, but turning over Lawrence and company is easier said than done.
Clemson Tigers
Clemson has rolled in the first four games of the season. Having over 500 yards of offense on average a game and throwing for almost 9 yards an attempt. The Tigers have big play makers on the outside and are really full of talent on both sides of the ball.
The #1 team in the country will have to hold off the freshman phenom in this one and continue to move the ball down field at a rejuvenated Tar Heel home field that could cause some trouble early.
The Tar Heel fan base is excited about their new additions with Mack Brown at the helm and a rejuvenated fan base should come out in droves on Saturday.
Expect the Tigers to take some shots downfield early to knock the crowd out of it early. Lawrence and the rest of the Tigers are too talented for the Tar Heels to stick around, but could find themselves in trouble if they play down to the Heels.

Free Week 5 NCAA Football Pick
The Tigers should run away with this game pretty easily even on the road. This game shouldn’t be close but it should be more interesting to see if the Tigers can cover the spread as any team would struggle with this large of a spread.
4* Free NCAA Betting Pick: Tar Heels +28.5.
The Tar Heels are going to have a tough time trying to win this game with a crazy talented Clemson team coming into town. Having a 28.5 point spread definitely is an advantage for all betters though, I believe that Sam Howell could make some noise and get enough points on the board so the Tar Heels could cover.
Clemson knows that the ACC schedule and the rest of the season is a grind. That means that even up big and within the spread they might actually sit some players to make sure they are available the rest of the year. The Tar Heels should be able to put enough points up to cover.
