South Carolina vs. North Carolina

Defense is often ahead of the offense in Week 1 and note that South Carolina has gone four of five games UNDER when playing in August. Senior QB Jake Bentley has 30 interceptions in his 32 career starts and they lost WR Deebo Samuel to the NFL, leaving the Gamecocks searching for a new No. 1 receiver. And running back is the least proven position on the offensive side of the ball. South Carolina is on an 11-4 run UNDER the total against the ACC. North Carolina is off a terrible campaign and brings in a new coach, Mack Brown. They have a lot of work to do on offense with three-players competing at quarterback, a position where they had 14 TDs, 14 picks in 2018. And the wide receiver corps is inexperienced, meaning both defenses in this one look much better than the offenses. Play the UNDER.
