ROB VINCILETTI: ESPN ACC SHOWDOWN + 100% NBA TOTAL
(NCAAB) Virginia vs. North Carolina, 02/02/2015 2:00 PM, Score: 75 - 64
Point Spread: 1.00 | -110.00 North Carolina (Home)
Result: Loss
GUARANTEED: On ESPN its BIG Monday and our ACC Selection is on North Carolina. Game 718 at 7:00 eastern. Both teams are off terrible losses. UNC led and should have beat Louisville but spit the bit and were toasted in Overtime. They take on a Virginia team that also comes in off a tough loss leading by 5 late before Duke went on a big run and stole the game on Saturday handing the Cavaliers their first loss of the season. Thats sets Virginia up in a Bubble burst teams off a first loss system that really hits the higher percentages if they are playing on the road against a winning team with revenge off a loss. UNC has 16 point loss revenge and has taken 15 of the last 18 here at home in the series including 9 of the last 10. Its hard for any team to go undefeated on the road, particularly one that is playing at this tough a venue. This Virginia team is very similar to the Syracuse team that were undefeated this late in the season last year and clearly peaked to early. North Carolina is no stranger to playing good teams as they have the #3 strength of schedule in the nation. Take North Carolina in this one.




BONUS: The NBA Totals Play is on the Under in the Philly vs Cleveland game. Rotation numbers 701/702 at 7:05 eastern. The Sixers have stayed under in 14 of the last 16 and have had a hard time mustering any offense again this season. The Cavs have played under in 5 straight and the last 4 times when playing at home after scoring 100 or more on the road. But perhaps the biggest reason we see a low scoring game here is that home favorites of 10 or more with 1 days of rest that covered the spread as a road favorite of 5 or more and are taking on a team that covered by 5 or more as a road dog of 5 or more have played under 17 of 21 times and a perfect 9 of 9 if our home team allowed 90 or more. For those reasons. We will stay with the under in this game.
