The bookie has the Tar Heels -8 points on the spread in half-time, but last year the Tigers have lead on the half in all three games, which eventually were lost. Also keep in mind that Clemson is 4-1-1 against the spread in its last 6 games on the road and North Carolina is 1-5 against the spread in its last 6 games at home. But the total has gone OVER in 4 of North Carolina's last 6 games when playing Clemson.
