Looks like an oddsmakers hedge here as the North Carolina Tar heels are barely favored at home vs. a good Virginia team. The hedge stems from the fact they anticipate that North Carolina will come into this game flat, having played their ultimate rival, Duke, in their last game. That hasn't been the case for Carolina as they are 12-1 straight up in their last 13 after playing Duke and have covered four of their last six after losing to Duke. The heels are young and benefit greatly from playing at home where they are 12-1 on the season. Virginia may be a bit overrated coming into this one as they have yet to face either Duke or Miami,Fla, the conference leaders. They have stumbled on the road at 3-9-1 ATS in their last 13. Play on North Carolina.
