It may look like the Texas Longhorns have gotten back to the elite status they held up until a few years ago. The Horns have started 9-1 on the season, but have played an extremely soft schedule. Their only tough game resulted in their only loss, and now they have to travel to Chapel Hill to take on North Carolina. North Carolina has played a lot of heavyweights to open the season, and they have come up aces vs. the likes of Michigan State, Louisville, and Kentucky - three of the top teams in the country. THe Tar Heels are young, deep, and talented, with 11 players seeing action in all nine games. UNC is 10-4 ATS in their last 14 at home, and have covered five of their last six outside the conference. lay the points and take North Carolina.

North Carolina at Texas
9:00 PM Eastern
The Longhorns are off to an inauspicious start at 6-4. But look a bit deeper and we see that this team is 5-0 at home, winning by 16 points per game. North Carolina has lost two of their last three road games and under-performed last game out vs. East Carolina. This Tar Heels team has covered the spread just once in their last six games. As good as this team has been under Roy Williams, they struggle mightily on the road vs. good defensive teams, going just 16-30 ATS on the road vs. teams like Texas that hold opponents to under 40% shooting. And, in the Rick Barnes era, Texas is 33-20 ATS at home vs. good offensive teams like NC (those averaging 77+ points per game). Take Texas with the points.
