    Potential biggest play of the year Saturday

    Carolina PK at Duke

    Love this play. You're getting the much better and more talented team in a revenge spot at even odds. Had Carolina not collapsed the first time around, this would be probably -3. Big value.

    Other leans:

    Pittsburgh +5.5 at UConn
    Louisville +9 at Syracuse
    Duquesne +4.5 vs. St. Louis
    Villanova +1 vs. Cincinnati
    Iowa State -1.5 vs. Baylor
    Tennessee +2 vs. Vandy
    DePaul +4.5 vs. Seton Hall

    I've watched both teams play probably 10 times each. North Carolina drives me crazy because they don't play enough D, but they'll be focused tomorrow. There is no comparison here talent-wise. UNC is only behind Kentucky in that category. Duke was, what, a 6-point dog at UNC, they win outright, now the game's a PK? Makes no sense.

    because Duke won last time, its expected that NC will win this time. same thing happened in the CFB National Championship. Everyone was scratching their head why Bama was favored over LSU.

    im sold....good call.

    My biggest play of the season so far was Iowa State for 24 units at Drake back in November -- basically a $500 bet. For me, that's big -- I realize I'm not a high roller like a lot of you cats though.

    I just wasn't sure if you meant 'biggest play' because you were most sure or if you were betting your max. I guess they mean the same thing.

    Not my max, but it'd be my biggest college basketball play to date.

    That would cause quite a bit of one-sided betting on Carolina.

    Get on it quick -- Carolina's getting hammered. Already -130. I missed the boat on a great number.

    This is very strange. No coins biggest play is the biggest public play of the day... I have no idea what to make of this!

    biggest play of the year? I disagree. Too high profile of a game

    No way of telling what is a "public play" or not at this point, but that's irrelevant to me contrary to popular belief.

    That's the only thing that's causing me pause.

    I'll definitely be on Carolina, but I'm worried about the game being so big and also I've already missed the best line. That PK ain't coming back.

    I think betting on this game is pretty much betting on which Harrison Barnes shows up. The guy has some awful games and don't think unc can win without him playing well. Henson is a beast though, and Barnes being on his game opens him up even more

    Adding as leans:

    Iowa -1.5 vs. Northwestern
    George Mason PK vs. Georgia State (assumed line)
    Detroit PK vs. Cleveland State (assumed line)

    How could you take depaul over seton hall? Seton hall has ten times more talent and are ten times better. Remember seton hall has knocked off uconn, georgetown and cuse this year. They are a sleeper team in the big east! They beat depaul they are in!

    Public will back North Carolina, so will the sharps. It will be a tidal wave of money on UNC. I only see this line going higher, perhaps UNC -3. They will need to move this line quite a bit because Duke money will be scarce. Everyone knows that UNC dominated the first game and just choked at the end, public also sees Duke struggling to put away teams like VT and losing 2 at home already. Everyone and their mom will be on UNC. And it will be right side.

    problem with backing Carolina against Duke is that you're giving so much away in the coaching department. should be a close game, and in a close game, you're basically taking talent over coaching and home court, i dunno, i lean Duke. BOL with your play and overall today, NC.
