North Carolina vs Miami prediction
North Carolina vs Miami best bet: North Carolina moneyline (-115)
This is a letdown spot for the North Carolina Tar Heels who are coming off a win against Duke. However, that's built into this line which looks off when you consider the talent disparity between these teams.
The Miami Hurricanes are 18-5 but have played the weakest schedule in the ACC and don't have a single win against a team in the BPI top 50. They've dropped three of their last six, including home losses against Cal and FSU who are nowhere near as good as UNC.
UNC has five victories against top 50 BPI teams and should add another here.
