North Carolina
The Tar Heels are 1-4 ATS in their last five games as a home favorite. North Carolina is 1-7 ATS in its last eight games overall.
Prediction:
This could be a get well game for UNC after a brutal schedule lately has seen it drop three of four. But none of the Tar Heels’ six wins have been by more than 16 points this season and the Terriers are much better than the two teams they did beat by 16. So I am more comfortable with taking the points on a Wofford squad that is playing with some confidence after dismantling four lesser opponents in a row.
