Clemson vs. North Carolina Prediction, Odds, Lines, Spreads, and Picks-December 3 | 2022 NCAA Football Regular Season
The ACC Championship between the Clemson Tigers and North Carolina Tar Heels is a battle between two teams that have faded over the last few weeks. Clemson lost the battle for the state of South Carolina when they lost to the Gamecocks.
North Carolina have lost their last two contests and seem to have run out of gas as we close the season. Clemson bring a daunting defense to contest North Carolina's QB freshman sensation, Drake Maye.
Who will be victorious and claim the ACC title?

Clemson Tigers vs. North Carolina Tar Heels Best Pick
This game is all about do-it-all freshman sensation Drake Maye. Maye is arguably the best QB in College Football. Did I mention that he is a freshman? He has played well beyond his years.
Maye is a sensational athlete who can affect the game with his legs. It has been quite some time since I have seen a Freshman quarterback be able to run through his progression and throw the ball as accurately as Drake Maye has in 2022.
Can the Tar Heels neutralize the Clemson Tiger defensive line and keep Drake Maye clean in the pocket? I believe the Tar Heel offensive line is up for the challenge.
I also don't have confidence in the Clemson Tigers offense. Clemson battled extended droughts on offense.
The game script is in the wheelhouse for the North Carolina passing game, and Drake Maye controls the action. Maye is the best player on the field, despite his age.

Clemson Tigers vs. North Carolina Tar Heels Final Prediction
Every time I thought I had a read on the Clemson Tigers in 2022, they surprised me, both good and bad. North Carolina are ahead of schedule with a freshman QB at the helm.
Drake Maye was always known as a terrific talent, but to have the success he has had already is stunning. The ACC title game is much more of a coin flip than many suggest. North Carolina can win this game outright. I will take the points.
Take North Carolina.
North Carolina Tar Heels +8 (-110)
