North Carolina vs Duke Prediction | College Basketball Betting Picks

We don’t know if this is the final UNC vs Duke matchup. However, we do know this is the final home game for Duke basketball coach Mike Krzyzewski. Needless to say, the Cameron Crazies are going to go, well…crazy.

Duke dominated North Carolina in Chapel Hill this season, winning 87-67. Simply, they’re the more talented team. And with the emotion running high today, they should get another win over their rivals. However, the point spread is too large to be fully comfortable.

Instead, we will look to the game total. Both teams have plenty of offense, as North Carolina and Duke are averaging 78.1 and 80.3 points, respectively. They have also both seen the game totals go over consistently. The total has also gone over in each of the past five UNC vs Duke matchups. With the energy high, especially lots of points once again today.

Our college basketball betting North Carolina vs Duke prediction tonight will be the game total going OVER at BetUS.

For what it’s worth, the ESPN Matchup Predictor gives Duke an 87.8% chance to win.

Bet: OVER 152

I am a simple Wisconsin man: I love beer and sports. I decided to create FlurrySports because I was sick of the politics and non-stories that the fat cat corporations put out. When you see football articles from me, just know that I combine my knowledge from playing, coaching, athletic training, and sports management/economic courses to give you a unique, but I feel well-rounded point of view. I am always down to talk about anything, so follow me on Twitter @FantasyFlurry if you decide you want more of me!
