North Carolina Tar Heels Dance Team

The 2010 edition of the classic Blue Devils – Tar Heels rivalry looks like it will fall a little flat as the young Tar Heels haven’t played up to expectation.

Duke is just 2-4 SU and ATS in road games, but they are coming off of a road win SU against Boston College.

North Carolina aren’t exactly threatening as they are currently on a three-game SU and ATS losing streak.

Regardless of their recent records, emotions will be running high as every game is a statement game between these two hated rivals.

The Blue Devils lead the ACC and, despite struggling on the road, are 5.5-point college basketball odds favorites at betED. Here is what the experts have to say.

Cappers Picks: Blue Devils

Matt Martz of Cappers Picks likes the Blue Devils because UNC’s weakness is their guard play and Duke sports a league-best 39.0 shooting percentage from three-point range.

Lucky Lester: Blue Devils

Lester is a Tar Heels fan and can’t bring himself to actually publish his pick, but he thinks you can throw out the Devils poor road record because they won’t be anything but up for this rivalry.

PredictEm: Tar Heels

Ryno of PredictEm gives the Tar Heels some love because playing at home against a rival will have the team fired up enough to at least cover the spread.

Vernon Croy: Blue Devils

Joe Gallo of Vernon Croy likes the Duke’s 7-0 ATS run against teams that average 77+ points.

The Online Wire: Tar Heels

Duke can be pushed around in the paint and play horrible road defense while the North Carolina’s offense gets a ton of points at home.

Bettors World: Blue Devils

Bettors World likes Duke because they are better at every position and North Carolina has dropped 6 of 7 with some big double-digit losses.
