What's the line gonna be?
Jimmy give me 6.5 and I'll take UNC for all you want. That's a horrible line.
I say Duke -2.
Way too early to speculate, but as of now given the home court advantage Duke -7 or 8.
No, that line was accurate since UNC is better than Duke.Was it as horrible as when North Carolina was favored by nearly the same amount when they last played a few weeks back in Chapel Hill? I think not. The psychological edge moves this line a couple of points alone especially since the Heels had that game basically in the bag.

Last I looked they're both 25-4 and 12-2 in the ACC.
And...
UNC is a better team than Duke.
Ok, then give me 6.5 points. We can post it up somewhere.
You asked a question I voiced my opinion. No need to turn it into side action.
Of course there's no need to, but if you actually believed the line should be 7 or 8 you should be happy to lay just 6.5. Gambling is just betting on an opinion, after all.
Hell, I'll take 6. You're getting two whole points, jimmy!
Just a matter of time before you take my offer or retract your opinion...op:
Agree with the "no need for side action." Nothing wrong with having a differing opinion either - if we were all the same gambling wouldn't exist.I don't think so but we will see. Carolina couldn't close the deal last time out. Could have easily had the inside track to one of the # 1 seeds although these two will likely play in the ACC tourney final.

I admittedly am a UNC fan, but I'm actually pretty tough on this team because they've greatly underperformed this year - despite the record you've posted. This UNC team is every bit as talented as the Kentucky team, but they seem to lack that "attitude." Marshall, Barnes, Zeller and Henson might all be lottery picks THIS YEAR.
I think PJ Hairston - who doesn't even play much anymore and has been atrocious when he has played - is one of the 5 most talented freshman in the country. His jumper is smooth as hell, yet he has no confidence and his numbers are atrocious - word around UNC is the guy never misses in practice or pre-game, but choke..... He's also 6'5 and one of the 5 most athletic guards in the country. Him and McAdoo with progress will be lottery picks.
Duke has no identity to me. They have succeeded because they're obviously well coached and they're deep. Duke doesn't have a "best player" and they have the most inconsistent guards around - Curry, Rivers and Dawkins. They're all so talented and damn good but Dawkins goes games without scoring over 6 points, then drops 30; Rivers dominates UNC and gets shut down twice by Maryland.
UNC and Duke have the same record, but they're drastically different teams.
Very well said and that coming from a Duke fan. The only part I disagree with is your evaluation of Hairston's talent and athletic ability.
UNC tends to have a problem getting up for big games and can sleepwalk thru early parts of games before getting it together. I don't expect that to happen on Saturday based on how the first meeting played out. I'd be ecstatic with a Duke win, but I don't think it is likely unless they shoot lights out from three again - which is possible since UNC refuses to defend the three. All UNC had to do the first game was continue to pound Zeller and that game would have never gotten close, but Barnes tried to do too much on his own in the second half as they forgot Zeller existed and the rest is Rivers history.
What if the line is two points higher than what I'm offering though, jimmy? I mean, you JUST said that's what you think it should be.
The fact that you're defending that opinion makes me think it isn't just a half hearted guess. You really believe that's what it should be, right? So if you're really a gambler, and you really believe what you're saying, why wouldn't you lay just six when in a few days you'd have to lay even more?
Ok, just give me 5.5. Surely if you think the line should be 7-8 you feel that you're getting a good deal betting -5.5 +100 when a bet on Duke later might mean -8 -110?
My evaluation is partly due to not being able to admit I was so horribly wrong about him coming into college; but also because the South Carolina, Kentucky and UNLV games still are embedded in my brain. Such a smooth game, and a great athlete. There's a chance he could be a total bust, and he already failed at being the 1 and done, but it could be the best thing to happen to him.
Bet it online and buy up. Now it's reminiscent of a Feist or proline tout who won't cut the strings.
Just admit you threw out one of the worst predictions we've seen on a line in a long time and I'll leave you alone.
I love the under if it is 159. Duke made 14 3pt shots and there was 15 points scored in the last 2:09 of the game.
Big time game to decide the conference which will lead to the coaches calling more half court sets and the defensive intensity will rise as well. I'll also be very interested in the team totals UNDER for each team.
Man you never quit do you? If you can't respect an opinion don't say anything at all.
I can respect an opinion, I just can't respect a dumb one.
We can fly a helicopter to the moon. My car could run on cheese wiz. A peanut can grow as large as Earth's moon.
Could these all be considered "opinions"? Well yeah, sure. Does it mean everybody should be polite and not call them out for being horrible, misinformed/misguided/ill-conceived ones? Hell no.
You made an awful prediction. Admit it and we'll move on or put your money where your mouth is and let's post up. op:
Can we all agree that the "cameron crazies" are one of the MOST OVERRATED things in college basketball. So you have some cheers and wear blue make up? Big fucking deal.
