One of college basketball's all-time great rivalries will be renewed on Saturday night with the North Carolina Tar Heels tangling with the Duke Blue Devils in the back half of this year's Final Four of the NCAA Tournament. Tip-off is set for 8:49 p.m. on TBS from Caesars Superdome in New Orleans.
Duke is currently favored by four points on the spread with the betting line for the total set at 151 points. These two ACC foes met twice in the regular season with the road team winning both straight-up and against the spread.
The Tar Heels are 8-1 ATS in their last nine games overall and more importantly 8-2 ATS in their last 10 games against Duke. The total has gone OVER in six of those 10 meetings.
In what should be an epic battle for a spot in Monday night's NCAA Tournament championship game, I see this game staying closer than the four-point spread. With both teams playing at a very high level, scoring should be high enough to take to total OVER on that betting line.
