Welp, the week is here. UNC football faces its lowest odds of winning since 2004, according to Vegas, when Dabo Swinney and his national champion Clemson Tigers come to Chapel Hill in a game that nobody in UNC sports media, myself and colleagues included, has even pretended will be contentious, even if Sam Howell is on pace to be the best freshman quarterback in the nation, even if Trevor Lawrence has thrown more interceptions through 4 weeks this year than he did all of last year, whatever. The Tigers’ greatest sin so far this season is not looking like an actual NFL team and steamrolling every team in their path, and they’ve still toyed with every opposition they’ve faced.
UNC’s pass rush is going to have to be special to give the Heels a chance against Clemson
