Spread +3.5 • North Carolina Tar Heels

North Carolina Tar Heels +3.5 --110 — take it and move on. The number says UNC can lose by three or win the game and you still win your wager, so this spread is buying you a little insurance in what looks like a tight, low-variance matchup. I’ve seen enough of these conference games to know the team that controls the line of scrimmage and avoids turnovers usually keeps it within a field-goal; that’s why I’m putting weight on this one. Play smart and size your unit appropriately.
