Thoughts: The Tar Heels are coming off a loss to Miami (FL) while Duke took care of Boston College in their last outing. This is one of the best rivalries in all of sports so I expect a close game. With that said Duke is the better team and wins this game by 6-8 points. If you’re in the betting mood, I like the Tar Heels with the points.
