North Carolina vs Duke Betting Prediction

I think North Carolina wins this game outright, even on the road. RJ Davis has a ton of confidence heading into this game and he’s going to have weather big game in this one. Look for North Carolina’s offense to have no issue running up the score and that will be the difference here as the Tar Heels will get the job done. We aren’t going to need the points here. Back North Carolina on the money line.
