Big-time bragging rights are on the line in Thursday’s college basketball game between the N.C. State Wolfpack (15-5) and the #8 North Carolina Tar Heels (16-3).
North Carolina has dominated their in-state rivals recently and has won all 10 head-to-head meetings against the Wolfpack since the 2007 season.
The Tar Heels were 75-63 winners as 6-point road favorites last year, while again winning 84-64 as 10.5-point favorites the last time they hosted N.C. State.
North Carolina has not only won 10 straight games over the Wolfpack, they have now covered the college basketball betting odds in 4 of the last 5 meetings and 7 of their last 10 against N.C. State.
The under has been a profitable play lately and has won in 3 of the last 4 after 5 straight head-to-head meetings between these squads went over previously.

N.C. State started out as a 15-point road underdog but has since been bet down as low as -13 despite college basketball wager-tracking websites showing that the action is split right down the middle in this game.
The total opened up at 159, and although the number is still available it does look like 158.5 is a bit more common.
North Carolina has won 9 of their last 10 games this season and their 10-8 record against the betting odds beats the 8-8 mark that N.C. State has amassed.
The Wolfpack are also winners in 9 of their last 10 games, and both teams have been playing at a high-level over the course of the last 2 months.
One interesting thing to note is that N.C. State has gone over the total in 10 of their 16 lined games on the year, while the Tar Heels sit at 9 under and 9 over this season.
