Betting Trends for vs
The North Carolina Tar Heels should be a factor when March rolls around as they have a young but talented roster, but the Wake Forest Demon Deacons have gradually gotten better this season with their latest game being an example of that. The Demon Deacons have prided themselves on the defensive side of the court as of recent as they are holding their opponents to an average of 66.6 PPG, but the same can’t be said about the Tar Heels as they are statistically worse (69.5 PPG). The Demon Deacons are missing two of their top scorers which has been a problem but expect Daivien Williamson and Isaiah Mucius to make enough shots to keep them within the number against their in-state rival. Final Score Prediction, North Carolina Tar Heels win but fail to cover ATS 76-68.
