Duke 19-4 SU, 9-14 ATS
The Blue Devils are ranked in the top 10 but there is no question that this year’s Duke team is not a serious national title contender. Duke is overrated and a poor team against the spread. The Blue Devils have actually lost twice at home this season. Duke can still score points as they are 12th in the country in points per game but their defense is simply rotten as they are allowing almost 70 points per game. This game on Wednesday is huge for Duke as if they lose they will fall two games behind in the ACC standings.
North Carolina 20-3 SU, 11-11 ATS
The Tar Heels are up to #5 in the country and they are still a definite national title contender. North Carolina is the top scoring team in the country as they are averaging 84 points per game. Their defense is not great, but it has been good enough. The Tar Heels are 7-6 ATS at home this season.
