Summary
North Carolina +3.5 at Clemson is Maldonado’s top Week 3 college football play, with +145 on the moneyline also rated worth a smaller wager.
UNC’s edge, she argues, is a pass rush ranked top 15 in pressures and sacks against a Clemson offense that has converted only 3 of 27 third downs and remains shaky at quarterback.
Billy Edwards Jr.’s 9.9 yards per attempt and North Carolina’s balanced backfield support the underdog case, while the Tar Heels have allowed just one red-zone touchdown in five trips.
Her second featured pick is Eastern Michigan-Wisconsin first-quarter under 9.5 at +105, citing EMU’s scoreless first quarters and a Badgers offense ranked 100th in EPA per play and 111th on early downs.
Mark Zinno’s additional leans include Alabama team total over 33.5, Rutgers +24.5 against USC, Texas A&M first-half -9.5 and Texas State -2.5.
