North Carolina at Virginia Tech

The Tar Heels’ offense continues to put up points in bunches, but the team refuses to play defense, relying on out-scoring everyone. They are atop of the ACC with an 11-3 record, but they are just 6-9 ATS, so despite their good offense, the defense is allowing a bunch on the other end for teams to stay within the number. Virginia Tech is another tournament bubble team. A win tonight makes a loud statement and puts a prize on the resume, so their "A" game is likely. Tar Heels are now 0-7 ATS following an ATS win, while the Hokies have shined in this big home dog role going a spotless 5-0 ATS their last five as a dog of 7-12.5. The Hokies hang around in this one for the cover.
