The North Carolina Tar Heels have started the season at 8-3, and have already played in a lot of big games. This one vs. UAB certainly is not one of them. The Heels have had a week off, and that creates a lot of distractions for players, and their next big game will be heir conference opener vs. Clemson, and it would be easy to see the Heels waltzing their way through this one, so covering a monster number here will be a challenge. UAB has had some good teams in recent years, but at 4-8 on the season this is not one of them. They have more than held their own as a big dog, covering big numbers against good teams in UCLA, and Florida, and they are 6-2 ATS in their last eight when following a loss. The Tar Heels have always been no-shows vs. bad teams where they are a woeful 3-13 ATS in their last 16 vs. a team below .400. Take the generous points on UAB.

A look ahead spot North Carolina with top-ranked Michigan State on deck. North Carolina (4-1) likes to run, but this is their first road game of the season, which can be tough on shooters to adjust. The UNDER is 5-2 in the Tar Heels last seven road games. UNC plays strong defense for Roy Williams, and the UNDER is 8-3 after scoring more than 90 points in their previous game. Alabama-Birmingham shoots 43.8% as a team (208th in the nation), and the UNDER is 35-15-1 in the Blazers last 51 non-conference games. The UNDER is 11-5 in their last 16 home games against a team with a winning road record, so look for more defense than oddsmakers expect. Play North Carolina/Alabama-Birmingham UNDER the Total.
