UNC hosts Duke for the first of their two annually scheduled showdowns. Since you “can throw out the records and rankings for this one” I won’t trouble you with those. Let’s get to what matters.

Opening Line: UNC -1.5
….then the money came in
Current line (as of Thursday a.m.): Duke -1
O/U: 166
Translation:
Notes of interest

- -6 of the last 8 Duke/UNC games have gone OVER
- -UNC is 4-1 ATS the last 5 times they were a home underdog vs. Duke
