ESPN’s Chris “The Bear” Fallica has a pick in the ACC Championship Game on Saturday night.

Fallica is going with Clemson in this matchup. He gave his reasoning on this week’s episode of Always College Football with Greg McElroy. He disagreed with McElroy, w

ho indicated he likes the Tar Heels in this matchup.

“I think I would probably disagree with you and lay it if I had to,” Fallica said. “I guess I just don’t trust North Carolina to be able to stop [Will] Shipley and that running game, which might help keep that Carolina offense off the field.”

Shipley has been the most consistent aspect of Clemson’s offense all season long. He finished second in the ACC with 1,092 rushing yards and 14 rushing touchdowns this season.

H

e’s also capable of catching the ball out of the backfield. Clemson’s passing offense has struggled in recent weeks, but the Tigers might not need a big game from DJ Uiagalelei in order to beat Carolina.

UNC ranks No. 13 in the ACC in rushing yards per game allowed with 169.67. Shipley, Phil Mafah and the rest of the Clemson rushing attack could use that advantage to control the game.

Clemson is favored by 7.5 points in this contest.

Kickoff is at 8:00 p.m. ET on Saturday night.
