A true early season heavyweight battle of NCAA titans takes place here with the young and talented Tar Heels squaring off against the Texas Longhorns. These games tend to always have a high total, yet often struggle to reach expectations as a chess match is usually more the instrument at work here. The Heels will certainly find the going tough vs. a Texas team that leads the country, allowing just 31.6% FG shooting. Both teams depend on the boards for extra put-backs to the offensive arsenal, but both are +12.9 off the glass - meaning fewer opportunities. This one promises points, but the true resolve here will be felt on the other end, so I like this one to go UNDER the total.
