Saturday, January 22, 2022 at 8:00 pm
This is a play on the NORTH CAROLINA TAR HEELS as part of our CBB Saturday Triple Play. Wake Forest has won two straight games, both on the road, and four of its last five games to move into a sixth place tie in the ACC, trailing first place Miami by a game and a half. The Demon Deacons are 10-1 at home with the loss coming against Duke by 12 points and while a home win over Florida St. was a quality win, that has been it and its overall schedule is the third easiest in the ACC. They do have a solid offense but perimeter shooting is an issue as they are ranked No. 249 in shooting from beyond the arc. North Carolina had won four of five games but got lambasted at Miami on Tuesday by 28 points so this is a bounce back spot to start a run with three straight home games upcoming. The Tar Heels offense is on pace to get it done. Here, we play against teams where the line is +3 to -3 after beating the spread by 30 or more points total in their last five games going up against an opponent after going under the total by more than six points in three consecutive games. This situation is 27-7 ATS (79.4 percent) over the last five seasons. 9* (783) North Carolina Tar Heels
