Duke at North Carolina: Duke covers +4.5

Duke’s got a solid offense with deep bench strength and more players who can create scoring chances. Their strong turnover rate (12th in the nation) and ball movement will be key against UNC’s defense, which lacks pressure on ball-handlers. Despite UNC’s touted defense, they struggled against tough teams, conceding high scores. Even in the challenging atmosphere of the Dean Smith Center, Duke has clinched victories in three of their last four visits, including last year.
