Who does the public like in this game?
North Carolina remains a tough team to predict as the Heels haven’t won more than two straight in the last month. The Heels are coming off a 75-70 home win over Syracuse in which they weren’t overly impressive. Duke hasn’t been much better, going 2-2 since beating UNC while going 1-2-1 against the spread in those four. The Blue Devils are still without Amile Jefferson, which keeps them thin in regards to depth. That will catch up with them today against UNC, which will be plenty motivated to hand Duke a home loss like the Blue Devils did to them. With the spread just one point, feel good about putting your money on the Tar Heels today.
