Wake Forest vs UNC bets get the week started in the College Basketball odds for Monday night. Any time the ACC gets things started, the games can get exciting quickly. Can the Tar Heels win this only easily at home or will Wake Forest give them a rough time? Better yet, does North Carolina cover? This shapes up to be a potential battle again the 13-5 Demon Deacons.
Wake Forest vs UNC bets roll with the Tar Heels this Monday night. So, there is little question as to why. Simply, North Carolina keeps winning. Eight straight victories has the team among the three best teams in the nation. It is early but the Tar Heels face another test on Monday night against a 13-win Wake Forest team who has upset completely on their minds.
Now, those Demon Deacons possess four players who can easily score 15-20+ points a night on any given occasion. Hunter Sallis and Kevin Miller lead the team and can pose some matchup problems for Carolina. However, Carolina faces a team that is 1-2 on the road in ACC play. The Demon Deacons defeated Boston College on the road but that is it. There lies a high chance this could be their third road conference loss.

Again, Wake Forest gets the chance to slay an undefeated conference opponent. Meanwhile, North Carolina gains the opportunity to go for its eighth straight conference win (ninth overall), Consider also that the Tar Heels are covering more and more spreads. The past several games featured double-digit wins which allowed Carolina to not have to strep so much.
Now, can Carolina win another “comfortable” game err make things easier on themselves? BetOnline Online Sportsbook Review dropped in with some timely and early numbers. Yes, Carolina is favored by eight points against a Wake Forest squad who has seen even more improvement under Steve Forbes and company.
Wake Forest vs UNC bets love taking err picking with North Carolina. The Tar Heels have been a bit of a darling for VegasBetting readers. The last month or so have seen Carolina show much better form. Honestly, other than the loss to UConn, the ACC leaders have looked very good. RJ Davis keeps rolling while averaging more than 20 points a contest. Again, Armando Bacot looks poised to defend the paint along with Harrison Ingram.
Currently, eight points feel like a not so huge number. If that was not enough, the Tar Heels are long enough away from playing Duke (next weekend). Yes, it will be interesting. However, Wake Forest is stepping up to the big stage again. Twice, there was the chance and twice Wake Forest could not dance. That partially makes this easier to side with North Carolina for good reason.
Wake Forest ranks 12th in D1 and 2nd in the ACC in three point percentage at 39.3%.

North Carolina ranks 21st in D1 and 1st in the ACC in defending the 3PT line, holding opponents to 29.1% on the season.
Something’s gotta give tomorrow. Let’s see what our defense can do.
Now, Wake Forest does not shoot almost 40% on the road, however. The North Carolina team holds teams 10% below the Demon Deacons average from three-point range. Again and again, the Tar Heels possess the ability to keep Wake Forest from asserting too much dominance from the perimeter. Anything can happen but Carolina’s Elliott Cadeau could be one to watch. He keeps improving game by game.
Bettors like Carolina and our thought process is another double-digit point victory at home is likely for the Tar Heels on Monday night.
Wake Forest vs UNC bets ask will be trying for the over? Bettors feel like it is almost certain that North Carolina will top 80 points. Is there a chance the Tar Heels can exceed 90? That answer is yes. Wake Forest has given up 85+ in the not too recent past against Florida State and scored 90 against Louisville. It becomes of great importance when trying to ascertain the over on Monday night.
Hey, if the number stays at 154.5 or less, that is great for us. Some originally feared with the team that this tilt could get closer and closer to 159 or even 159.5. Thankfully, this never came close to happening. As we mentioned, Wake Forest can get their points but so can North Carolina. Both teams average 81 or more points a game. Get ready for a fun ride ladies and gentlemen.
College Basketball Betting Picks take on the Game Total and say to wait on team Overs as long as one can. This is because we project North Carolina to be close to 83. Again, we may be wrong here but the low 80’s seem to be a likely target. Either way, do not rush into that bet at least.
Yes, the Wake Forest vs UNC Bets take the Over of 154.5 but will likely not go lower. The key is how high does one tease this if one tries for plus numbers.
Prime NCAA basketball online betting sites like this and more on Monday. Do not sleep on Cincinnati and Kansas. That should prove to be quite the exciting affair. Do not forget Hofstra and Stony Brook among a few other select matchups. Again, Wake Forest vs UNC bets pave the way for other bets too. Get ready as the basketball only becomes more and more intense.
Monday night figures to be quite the slate. Good luck!
