The 2022 ACC Championship Game is set for Saturday night and it will be the Clemson Tigers taking on the North Carolina Tar Heels. Clemson is no stranger to this game and North Carolina will be trying to pull off the upset.
Betting on the winner of the ACC Championship Game can be difficult because of the large spread, but there are other betting options. You will find plenty of prop betting options for this game and here are the five best picks to make.
Read our Clemson vs. North Carolina preview to find out who we’re picking to win.
2+ First Downs on First Five Plays (+125)
You will want to get your prop bets in early for this game, as there is a great betting opportunity right away. There is a chance to win some money after the first five plays if you bet on there being at least 2+ first downs.
Both of these teams have put up plenty of points this season and the offenses will set the tone early in this match-up.
Will Shipley First TD Scorer (+350)
Clemson is a big favorite in this game and they should be able to get off to a quick start. There is some great value in making a first TD scorer bet in this match-up and you should be looking at the list of Tigers that are offered.
Clemson is likely going to need to run the football to win this game and that means that Shipley is going to have a big day. Look for the running back to find the endzone first in the ACC Championship Game.
Drake Maye Under 299.5 Passing Yards (-115)
North Carolina quarterback Drake Maye has had a monster season for the Tar Heels and he just continues to put up big numbers. Maye has thrown for 3847 yards and 35 touchdowns, but he is facing a good defense in this game.
Clemson is a team that can get a ton of pressure on the quarterback and Maye is going to have a challenging time in this one. Even though UNC will be forced to throw the ball late, take the under 299.5 passing yards for the QB.
Will Shipley Over 93.5 Rushing Yards (-110)
We already talked about Shipley being the first TD scorer in this game, but he is also going to get plenty of touches outside of the red zone. North Carolina is a team that is giving up 170 rushing yards per game and Shipley is going to break free in this game.
Shipley is going to have at least one huge run in the ACC Championship Game and that will give him a chance to go over this total early. Bet on the star running back to have at least 94 rushing yards.
Josh Downs Under 94.5 Receiving Yards (-115)
Josh Downs is the star wide receiver for North Carolina and he will be the top target for Maye in this game. Clemson knows that Downs is a key for that offense as well and they will be throwing extra defenders his way.
Don’t expect Downs to find many holes in the defense on Saturday and his receiving yards total will be less than 94.5.
