I think this is a tough spot for North Carolina, on the road and No. 2 rival North Carolina State next. UNC has also just covered twice in their last 9 games (2-4-3 ATS). Va. Tech has played a played a tough schedule and will not be intimidated. The Hokies are a solid offensive club that likes to get up and down the court, which is also North Carolina's style so I expect a high scoring game. Take the underrated Hokies and the points.

The Hokies are a tough out at home. In fact, they're 24-10-1 ATS in their last 35 home games. While the Tar Heels come in on a four-game win streak, I don't expect them to dominate. In my simulations, the Hokies are covering 68 percent of the time. Take the points.
