Pick:	Clemson Tigers -3.5
Start:	September 19, 2026 @ 12:00 PM
Expert:	Scott Rickenbach

Analysis:

College Football complimentary selection from Rickenbach for Saturday September 19th: Take #120 Clemson -3.5 vs North Carolina (12 p.m., Saturday September 19th) - The Tigers lost starting QB, a senior (Vizzina), and now have to go with the freshman Reynolds. Clemson looked horrible versus LSU and really did not look much better last week even though they beat Georgia Southern 22-7. The new offensive coordinator has not impressed and this Tigers team is struggling in red zone chances and, like we saw against Georgia Southern, settling for field goals. Have to give North Carolina credit for their 2-0 start to this season of course. However, the Tar Heels faced East Tennessee State last week and their first game was in Dublin Ireland against TCU. Sometimes those one-off games with long travel involved to a neutral site are difficult to gauge a team by because the situation is so unique. Again, North Carolina deserves credit but I still don't trust them on the road here though I fully understand the line move from 6.5 to 3.5 on this one. As a result of the additional value from the line move, I will get behind this Clemson team right now! I expect the freshman QB will do better here after a full week of practice with the #1 unit and knowing he is the #1 guy heading into this week's game. Reynolds will be ready and let's not forget that North Carolina went 2-7 in their last 9 games in 2025. Also, the Tar Heels do have a bye week on deck and then a huge home game with #3 Notre Dame on deck. The Tigers rolled the Heels 38-10 last season and I do feel the hosts will win in solid fashion here although we will see a tighter game than last year. Lay it with Clemson -3.5 Saturday Read More Read Less
