Purdue Boilermakers (3-0) vs North Carolina Tar Heels (3-0)
Saturday, November 20, 2021 at 4:00 pm
The 6th ranked Purdue Boilermakers & 20th ranked North Carolina Tar Heels will square off at Mohegan Sun Arena in the Cheez-It Hall of Fame Tip Off and I like Purdue covering this mid-range spread.
Purdue has been lights out on the season so far on both ends of the court as they rank t-5th in scoring offense & t-86th in scoring defense and just have the look of a team that is going to be hard to beat as they just don’t seem to have many weaknesses.
North Carolina certainly has some talent, especially on the offensive end, however, their defense has looked awful to start the season and they currently come into this game ranked t-312th in scoring defense, 324th in steals per game, & 231st in defensive FG%.
The Boilermakers are 4-1-1 ATS in their last 6 Saturday games & 7-3 ATS in their last 10 games overall. The Tar Heels are 0-4-1 ATS in their last 5 games overall & 0-3-1 ATS in their last 4 games vs. a team with a winning straight up record.
North Carolina has struggled with games against Brown & Charleston to start the season and as I don’t think their offense is going to be able to bail them out in this one, I think Purdue pulls away in this one and covers this spread.
