Wake Forest at North Carolina

6:00 PM Eastern

The Wake Forest Demon Deacons will head to Tobacco Road and take on North Carolina. North Carolina is the #17 team in the country. North Carolina shoots 26 three's a contest, but makes just an average of 9 of them. The angle in this game looks like the Demon Deacons can get out on a lot of 3's, and perhaps they can make life tough defending out there. It is difficult to play a team that was on a 7-game winning streak, then lost its last game, and is looking to win today. Those are tough circumstances to overcome. Wake Forest got off to a miserable start at 2-5. They have definitely made strides, though. Wake Forest has become a tough team, 7-1 in its last eight games. Double-digits too much here. Make the play on Wake Forest.

The North Carolina Tar Heels have always had a strong offense. This year is no exception as they rank No. 7 in the nation, but it is the defense that has been coming up big for the Heels as they rank No. 4 in the nation. That combo, has North Carolina poised to make a National Championship run. North Carolina has logged eight straight wins, and each win has come by more than 10 points. Wake Forest is a solid 12-5 on the season. Wake has not fared well as a dog however where they have posted just a 1-4 ATS record on the season. I don't think they are in the same league of talent as North Carolina who really has it going on both ends. Make the play on North Carolina.
