    NC State +13
    That may be the most ridiculous line I've seen this season. I was thinking it would be +6 or +7 and was stunned to see it as a +13 spread. I wonder what the oddsmakers see that I don't?

    The Tarheels haven't looked very good in their first two games in the ACC against weaker competition and should honestly be 0-2 right now. The Wolfpack took a shot in the mouth at Miami but responded with putting on a show verses Va Tech. They are starting to look almost unstoppable on offense now that they have everyone playing. Theo Pinson is making his season debut but I don't see that as a major factor in the game. All in all, I think State possibly even has an advantage in talent.

    This could be one of the best games of the young season. Both teams score at a high pace and have defensive issues. Smith Jr. and Berry will be a blast to watch. Neither team has any clear cut advantages besides UNC playing at home and all the home cooking they get. Still, this is a rivalry game and the teams are about as equal as they have been in a while so I expect a game where both teams are in the 90s and it's a back and forth war.

    Concerned that the only 2 road games for NC state were blowout losses to Miami and Illinois

        I capped this game at 6. So I agree, 12 or 13 is a gift.

        NC State seems to be improving every week. Dennis Smith Jr will be the best player on the court. UNC seems unpredictable right now and of this were at NC St then I might even have the Wolfpack as a fav.

          It's also going to be interesting if the crowd is sparse because of the winter storm and if that will effect anything.

            For inclement weather games in the past, the court side season ticket holders (generally older, quieter alums) have released their seats, which were then given to basically anyone who could show up. This has led to better atmospheres because it has meant more students closer to the court. This was set to happen last year when Duke pulled out of the game, claiming they couldn't travel the 8 miles to play.

            The difference today, however, is that dorms don't open until tomorrow, so student attendance may be sparse.

                Everyone has it capped at 6-8. That line is BEGGING for NC State money. So it will indeed be interesting to see what the oddsmakers know that everyone else doesn't.

                  Yeah. Kenpom has 14, Massey 12, and Dunkel 21. But I get those that are taking the 13.

                        I'm glad about this. Dorms reopen tomorrow so maybe kids will make an effort to come back in the morning. Crowd would have sucked tonight.

                          Different class of program, different class of talent, different class of coaching, different class of university.

                          Good luck woofies, you'll need it.

                                What do we think the 2H line is? I might just ride with the Tar Heels. State has given up.

                                  Speaks a lot to the character of their players. They get all the basketball players and students we don't want.

                                    If UNC had not scored a single point in the entire second half, the game would have been tied at the end of regulation.

                                    For future reference, that's what a "gift" line looks like. You were just confused about which side was the gift.

                                      UNC won by 51...that tells you a lot about the players on NC State....UNC is good but they aren't that good...

                                        NC State players quit when they chose their school.
