The UNLV Runnin’ Rebels are off to an 11-1 start and are ranked No. 17 in the country. They bring with them a nine-game winning streak, and will be making their first appearance ever in Chapel Hill - not an easy venue for any team, let alone one that has never played here. UNLV knocked off the Tar Heels last season when North Carolina was ranked No. 1, so UNC will have an edge in this game, and will be out for redemption. The Tar Heels are green, talented, and growing. They have also won four out of their last five. Young teams are generally more at ease at home. This has been a chamber of horrors for visiting teams that aren't in the ACC as North Carolina has won 62 straight at the Dean Center, with the last loss over seven years ago. The Rebels know that they can't let this one turn into a track meet or they are going to frenzy the crowd and play into UNC’s strength. UNLV has held eight opponents to 63 points or less, and they can't let this one get into the 80s or it will be lights out. UNLV is just 1-10 ATS in their last 11 on the road, where they have also played four of their last five to the UNDER. The Tar Heels have been more defensive after an ATS win where four of their last five have played to the UNDER as well. Play on North Carolina and take the UNDER.
