N.C./Duke Wed.....

[Nole]

I bet a guy at bowling tonight $100.00 that Duke would be favored at home(opening line) Wed night. He thinks N.C. will be favored.

What do you think? I'm I out a Benjamin?

[ppabart]

My guess......UNC -2

 

[Rcxslam]

pk ! you push... :mj14:

 

[Nole]

pk ! you push... :mj14:

Yeah, push at a pick. Is the line out already?

nole

 

[ppabart]

I dont see it anywhere....

Honestly...I think the line could come out anywhere from Duke -2 through UNC -2. It'll be interesting to see

 

[gman2]

carolina has no business being favored at cameron. i dont give a shit how many teams they blow out at home --- theyre still not a good road team. and theyve only played on the road three times since mid-december. god i hope carolina is favored. i will hammer this shit out of duke.

 

[Nole]

I'm looking forward to it obviously.

Congrats to your boys tonight. I actually laid the points tonight and won. :scared

what has impressed you about north carolina on the road this year?

 

[vyrus858]

I think that is going to be one hell of a game...May vs Williams, Felton vs Ewing, McCants vs Dockery/Reddick?...in my opinion its going to come down to who gets the clutch baskets between McCants and Reddick, and who dominates between Sheldon and Sean

 

[ppabart]

I am looking at it from the opposite point of view....

What about Duke is impressing me this year? The Tarheels depth is too much for Duke. Honestly, I'm scared shitless about the refs in this one. If you saw the Virginia Tech/Duke game, you know exactly what I am talking about. I don't know if there is any way I can be convinced that Duke has a better team than the Tarheels. The Tarheels will be ready to play and will be very prepared.

And to answer your question directly, the Tarheels havent played that many away games anyways (neutral site games don't count). So to say they are a good or bad road team is jumping to conclusions. The sample size is too small

no team in the country is 'better' than carolina. that doesnt mean a whole lot though, especially in conference play.

as for carolina's small sample size on the road.... maybe.

but theyve been very mortal on the road since williams took over.

north carolina being favored over wake forest was an absolute joke.

between unc/duke/wake, no team should be favored on the other's home floor.

 

[ppabart]

its just a tough call gman. I'd hate to be the linesmaker for this one. UNC is a tough team right now and Duke just showed us that they can lose on their home floor. I know that its not a common occurance, but it did happen. Maybe a pick is the right line?

 

[gman2]

maryland should be favored in cameron with the way they play duke there, lol. terps are the only team that can win there.

i think pick would be a great line.

 

[ppabart]

its settled then...Nole, tell your friend the bet is a push. The early line is out

 

[LuckyIrish]

no way...I would think UNC is at least a 3pt fav.

 

[ppabart]

maybe. We'll just wait and see. I can't offer up anything more than I've already said. Since I'm flying a UNC flag...its hard to leave my bias at the door sometime

 

[addikted]

My opinion is that if anyone is getting points it will be Duke. I'm definetly interested to see what it opens up at though. Hope you win your c-note Nole!!
