Long Beach State at North Carolina State

North Carolina is flying high, fresh off a 79-65 win over No. 1 Michigan State -- in East Lansing, Michigan. Now they come hom, a great stretch for North Carolina as Saturday's game is the first of a stretch of six consecutive UNC contests in the Smith Center to close out the month of December. A let down spot? The Tar Heels are 9-3 ATS in their last 12 home games vs. a team with a road winning percentage of less than .400. Into town comes a .500 NC-Greensboro squad, and the Spartans are 17-35-1 ATS in their last 53 non-conference games. The Spartans are also 1-6-1 ATS against a team with a winning record. Play North Carolina. Also take the UNDER in this one. This total is set too high. The Tar Heels have been scoring less at home this season than on the road. Greensboro is averaging 84 points per game at home but 15 points fewer than that on the road this season. In their last 11 games following an ATS win, the Heels are 9-2 UNDER and they are 5-2 to the UNDER in their last seven overall. Take the Tar Heels and the UNDER here.
