Thursday’s Best ACC Tournament Bets: North Carolina vs. Wake Forest
(Odds courtesy of DraftKings Sportsbook)
North Carolina vs. Wake Forest
The Tar Heels are not the powerhouse blue blood they often are this season, but North Carolina is still an excellent team. They have had some issues at times this season but finished the year on a 6-1 run (the loss vs. Duke, 82-69, in their regular season finale). In their first-round game vs. Notre Dame, they cruised to a 43-29 lead at the break, then coasted in the second half to win by 20, 76-56.
Unlike the Tarheels, Wake Forest had a few issues down the stretch, going 3-4 in their last seven games. When they played North Carolina on Jan.2, the Demon Deacons got the win by a point, 67-66.
Wake Forest got the win during the regular season, but the Tar Heels are coming in hot while the Demon Deacons are just on a leisurely stroll. North Carolina simply has too much firepower for Wake Forest to handle.
Pick: North Carolina -5.5 (-110)
