ACC predictions: Week 1

Posted Aug 29, 2013
North Carolina at No. 6 South Carolina, 6 p.m., ESPN. Defensively, UNC is thin at linebacker, so that is a concern, along with replacing Sylvester Williams up front. Bryn Renner will be able to keep UNC in the game, but South Carolina will ultimately win because it is stronger on the offensive and defensive lines. AA picks: South Carolina 34, North Carolina 21; HD picks: South Carolina 24, North Carolina 21 (ESPN.com)
