Bet North Carolina vs. Miami Odds
Oddsmakers from online sports book BroburySports.com have made Miami a 6.5-point favorite over North Carolina in Week 8. The over/under total for this game is currently 49 points.
Let’s get to our free pick.
The Tar Heels are 4-2 this season and a solid 5-1 against the number. They’re also undefeated on the road this year and have covered in each of their two games away from North Carolina.
The Hurricanes are also 4-2, but have only covered in half of those six games. They’re also 1-1 at home this season and 1-1 against the spread at Sun Life Stadium.
Our Pick:
It appears as though oddsmakers are undervaluing North Carolina in this game. The Tar Heels are 5-0-1 against the number in the lat six meetings between these two teams, while the underdog is 5-0-1 ATS in their last six meetings. Given the inconsistent play of Miami this year, we’re happy to take the points with a North Carolina team that is 4-0 TS in its lat four October games and 4-0 ATS in their last four games overall. Our pick is North Carolina plus the points.
