North Carolina Tar Heels (15-6) vs Pittsburgh Panthers (15-7)

Pittsburgh has been great as a road team against the spread this season but I like UNC to win this game by double-digits. UNC is playing with revenge in this game after losing to Pitt in the first meeting at Pitt. In that game, Pitt shot 63.2% from two-point range but I don't think that will be the case this time. UNC's defense is strong and the Tar Heels are one of the best defensive-rebounding teams in the conference. At home, I expect the UNC defense to be too much for Pitt to handle, and shot quality-wise, Pitt's defense is not good enough to hold up here. Give me UNC laying the points.
Ron’s Pick North Carolina Tar Heels: -8.5 -110
