Interesting matchup tonight.
Looks like an edge to N. Carolina tonight but the -4.5 NC line makes me think twice.
I believe CK has mentioned, the ACC is a homer confernce this year. Excluding the 3 bottom dwellers in the league (ND, G-Tech, Louisville) home teams are winning at a 32-10 clip SU in conference games.
When you consider only games against the top 11 conf teams, NC is 0-3 on the road. Syracuse is 2-1 at home in conference against the top conf teams. They did lose to Pitt in mid Dec by 2 pts.
Last 5 ATS (all games)
Syracuse 4-0-1
NC 3-2
Last 5 Home/Away ATS
Syracuse (Home) 3-1-1 (the lone loss ATS was by 2 vs Pitt - mid Dec).
NC (Away) 1-4 (the lone cover against lowly Louisville)
I like the Syracuse +4.5 tonight and think homer trend continues.
Syr +4.5
