UNC won the last meeting with Wofford in 2015, but the Terriers covered a 23-point spread. However, UNC is 27-10-2 against the spread in its last 39 home games and four of the last five against Southern Conference opponents. Wofford is 1-4 ATS in their last five games following a win. The public betting is siding heavily North Carolina and I like the Heels to roll to a big win tonight as well.
