We get a nice treat on CBS today as No. 7 Duke visits No. 2 North Carolina. After losing back-to-back games to UNC and BC, Duke has won five in a row. Unfortunately, they are in for a rough go of it today I think. The reality is, the Blue Devils are very good, but not great. And very good doesn't cut it vs. the Tar Heels at the Smith Center. After losing their first two conference games, Carolina has won 12 of 13 games. UNC has dominated this series lately having won five of the last six. The last time they met, Carolina won by 14 points. And Duke had the home crowd support in that one. This place will be rocking this afternoon and the fact remains that Duke is 9-4 on the road. They score about 10 points less per game away from home, averaging 72 per game. That won't be enough to keep up with UNC who averages 93 per game at home. Duke is just 31-51 ATS the past decade in March games and I again expect an underperformance here.
