On the season UNC is 12-9 ATS and they have an Over/Under record of 11-10 and Duke is 13-10 ATS and they have an Over/Under record of 12-10.

Duke is 12-0 at home this season and North Carolina is 4-5.

The last time Duke lost at home is was last season when they lost to North Carolina. Tonight’s match up is one with the top scoring teams in the ACC.

UNC is only 1-3 facing ranked teams this season.

The Tar Heels have their work cut out for them in this game, as their main goals have to contain leading scorer and rebounder Mason Plumlee and 2nd leading scorer Seth Curry, who is one of the best 3-point shooters in the nation and has averaged 20.7 ppg in his last 6 games. It needs not be said that UNC must play better perimeter D tonight than they did in the Miami game when they allowed the Hurricanes to bury 15 3-pointers.

UNC is led by the frontcourt duo of James Michael McAdoo and Reggie Bullock, who are each averaging at least 14 ppg. The Tar Heels and the 5th best rebounding team in the nation and McAdoo and Bullock are each averaging over 2 offensive rebounds per game. [ad-6571516]

Plumlee has to play good D in the paint and not let these guys dominate the glass. UNC is 11.9 offensive rebounds a game and that is a concern facing a Tar Heels’ squad that ranks 9th in the country with 14.8 offensive rebounds per game.

In some betting trends for this ACC rivalry match up North Carolina is 2-5 ATS in their last 7 road games, 2-5 ATS in their last 7 road games vs. a team with a winning home record, and they have an Over record of 5-1 in their last 5 games.

Duke is 5-0 ATS in their last 5 games following a ATS loss, 4-0 ATS in their last 4 home games, and they have an Over record of 6-2 in their last 8 games.

Jason’s Pick: UNC is 6-1 ATS in their last 7 games at Duke and that trend will continue. The Tar Heels always play the Blue Devils close and they may not win, but they will cover the big spread.
