Free Pick North Carolina vs. Duke – Oct 15th

ACC Rivalry Ruckus – @Duke +7 vs. North Carolina – 8:00pm ET – POINT TRAIN CONSULTING

The Tar Heels offense is averaging an ACC best 501 yards per game. Duke’s defense allows 380-yards per game. Despite their prolific offense the Heels have played in four 1-score games this season with an average Margin of Victory of just +6PPG. UNC’s defense is not good and the Duke rushing attack will exploit their weakness. The Blue Devils average over 190-rushing yards per game, UNC allows over 167-rushing yards which is 96th in the country. This UNC defense gave up +138 more yards to Miami than the Canes averaged going into their game last week. Prior to that this defense gave up 576-yards to Notre Dame and 431-yards to Georgia State which where both significantly higher than those teams season averages. Duke is coming off a close road loss to Georgia Tech who looks much better after firing their coach. Duke is 7-8 SU their last 15 at home, but they’ve been competitive in those games with an average MOV of -3PPG. We like the points here and the home dog in this big rivalry.
