They do have a lot of youngsters, but the Demon Deacons have just been horrific this year. They were beaten by 25 points at home against a very mediocre NC State team this past Sunday. North Carolina showed the country how well they can play in the first half at Duke, and this is a young team that is really starting to come together. <a href=\"http:\/\/www.betdsi.eu\/?cmpid=13386_2448\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft\" style=\"margin: 5px;\" src=\"http:\/\/banners.betdsi.com\/images\/mobile_dsi_250_250_0.gif?cmpid=13386_2448\" border=\"0\" alt=\"\" width=\"250\" height=\"250\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Wake Forest is 0-7 this year on the road, and they really haven\u2019t come close to picking up a win. They have lost their last five road games by at least 21 points. Wake Forest has five guys averaging double figures in points, but most of them are shooting a low percentage from the floor. The Demon Deacons live or die by the three-point shot on the offensive end. On the defensive end, Wake Forest is horrendous. They are allowing 77 points per game, and they allow opponents to hit 45% of their shots from the floor.<\/p>\n<p>North Carolina has won six of their last seven, with the one loss coming at Duke. The Tar Heels are a team that seems to be maturing nicely as the season moves along. Tyler Zeller has been a consistent force in the post for this team. Zeller averages 14.3 points per game, and he teams up with John Henson to provide a very nice post defense for North Carolina. Harrison Barnes was the top ranked player in high school basketball last year. Barnes started the season a little slowly, but he has come on in a big way of late. Barnes has scored at least 20 points in three of their last five games.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Gambling Trends:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Over is 10-1 in WFRST last 11 road games.<br \/>\nWFRST are 2-8-1 ATS in their last 11 games overall.<br \/>\nOver is 6-1-1 in NOCAR last 8 home games.<br \/>\nUnder is 21-7 in NOCAR last 28 vs. Atlantic Coast.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The Pick:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>I don\u2019t think this game will be close at all. I really don\u2019t like betting on such huge favorites, but I think North Carolina wins this game by about 30 points. I lean toward the over as well because the pace should be very quick. <\/p>\n<p><strong>Prediction: <\/strong>North Carolina 93 Wake Forest 64<\/p>\n<p>We have compiled the best group of <a href=\"\/blog\/category\/ncaa-basketball\/\"><strong>NCAA basketball handicappers predictions<\/strong><\/a> on the Web, so we guarantee you will ONLY get the best college basketball plays each day.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Kyle Hunter sports picks \u2013 A degree in finance and a great ability to follow important trends and statistics set him apart from the rest.
