A jam-packed day of college basketball action on Saturday tips off with an ACC rivalry matchup between North Carolina and North Carolina State in Chapel Hill at noon ET on CBS. The Tar Heels are favored by 12 points, down one after opening at 13.
With conference and NCAA Tournament positioning on the line, you need to hear what legendary Vegas oddsmaker Kenny White has to say.
White has made his name, and his living, setting lines for sporting events for some of the top sports books in the world. Now as an expert for SportsLine, White's picks crush those same books.
He was an astounding 51-33 on his college basketball picks last season, returning a profit of $1,463 on $100 bets. And he's heating up this season, especially when it comes to picking the Tar Heels.
Earlier this month, he told readers to lay 13.5 points and take North Carolina against Boston College, calling for the Tar Heels to "run BC out of the gym." The result: White absolutely nailed it as UNC routed Boston College 96-66, more than doubling that huge spread.
That helped White to four straight correct picks on games involving the Tar Heels. Anybody who has been following his picks is flying high.
Now he has studied every angle of this ACC battle and his strong point-spread pick is in. He's sharing it over at SportsLine.
White knows that North Carolina had its hot streak cooled off this week when Virginia Tech ended the Tar Heels' four-game ACC winning steak.
UNC, which came into that matchup with an elite offense that averaged almost 83 points per game, was held to just 69 against the Hokies. A normally top-tier rebounding squad, UNC got out-rebounded by the Hokies and never settled into any kind of rhythm.
But just because they had a big setback on the road this week doesn't mean the Tar Heels can't bounce back and get a big win and cover against NC State.
After a strong start to the season that included a victory over then-No. 2 ranked Arizona, NC State has been inconsistent. The Wolfpack haven't won more than three games in a row at any point and no more than two in a row in ACC play.
History is on UNC's side as well. The Tar Heels hold a 154-77 all-time edge in this series and have won the last four in this rivalry by 12 points or more.
White has evaluated all of these circumstances and identified an alarming stat that gives a huge clue to which side you should back between the Wolfpack and the Tar Heels.
So what side of UNC-NC State should you be all over? Visit SportsLine now to see White's strong against-the-spread pick for this ACC showdown, all from a Vegas legend who has been nailing his recent UNC picks.
