UNC is certainly the better team on paper, but an 17-point road favorite is a little much for me. The Tar Heels haven’t been overly dominant on the road, as their numbers indicate. They are also just 3-5-1 against the spread on the road while Boston College is 5-2 ATS at home this season. I like the Eagles to put up enough fight to cover today.
