#721 ASA PLAY ON 8* North Carolina +6.5 over Virginia, Saturday at 6:00 PM ET - North Carolina has played a slightly tougher schedule than Virginia overall and have been in most of their ACC road games this season with a recent win at Duke. Earlier this season the Tarheels lost by just 3-points at NC State, 5-points at Georgia Tech, 7-points at Florida State and then their worst loss of the year was 13-points recently at Clemson. If we examine North Carolina’s game against FSU, who is similar to UVA (top 2 teams in the ACC), we find the Heels were just +4-point dogs in that game and now getting +6.5 here? The Heels lost by 7 in that game vs FSU (2nd place in the ACC) but were -15 made FT’s yet were only down 1 with 2:00 minutes to play. They had a shot in that game. Virginia has been winning but many of their games have been close. The Cavs last three wins in ACC play have all come by 8-points or less. The Cavs have had 2 blowout wins in ACC play vs Clemson & Syracuse but the remainder of their 9 games were decided by an average of 5.7 points. It's hard to imagine any team could look past North Carolina but the Cavaliers have a HUGE game on deck with Florida State which may decide the ACC Title. This has been a tightly contested series with the last four games all decided by 9-points or less. UNC has had a week off to get ready for this game while UVA played a game @ Georgia Tech on Wednesday night. Take the points.
