Bet on Boston College vs. North Carolina
North Carolina has won 10 straight meetings with Boston College, but the Eagles have covered the spread in the last two. UNC is hard to trust right now, as the Tar Heels have looked shaky at times during the season and are in a rough patch now. However, the UNC offense has been really strong at home and Roy Williams has to have gotten into his guys after scoring just 49 points at Virginia. The public betting is strongly with Boston College tonight, but I think the Tar Heels put on one of their best performances of the season today.
