The Tar Heels will be hosting Clemson Saturday and, if a fairly aggressive opinion by the books turns out correct, may not be able to cover the -4.5 spread here despite Sagarin suggesting this one should be set at -6.
North Carolina ranks a 7 over their last ten games on the ATS Index (Against The Spread) and they are a very impressive 17-9 ATS on the season. Their 7 ranking suggests the Tar Heels have actually cooled off over the past month.
Assuming $1000 bet on the Tar Heels every game without considering other bets from the start of this season, gamblers would be profiting around $8000 with UNC and closer to $4000 over the last ten games.
