I don't post all that often - but I have a game that I really, really, really like tonight.
I have recently moved to the Charlottesville, VA area.
Needless to say the Cavaliers are having a tough year. John Paul Jones Arena when it opened last year was a very tough place to play. This year that is not the case.
The Cavaliers just got blasted at home by Clemson by over 30 points. The same Clemson team that just lost to NC by 10 (although it was double overtime)
The Cavaliers really only have one scoring threat in Sean Singletary, and he has not been healthy for much of the season (currently nursing a hip pointer.) They also have no inside presence on offense or defense. Needless to say - Hansborough should have an easy go of it inside. The games that they have played close in the ACC (3 losses in OT and one by 3 points) the opposing team has not had a dominant big man. They also just lost to an average Wake Forest team who can't shoot the 3 - and kept the game semi close by sitting in a zone and letting the worst 3 point shooting team in the ACC keep missing, while trying to protect their dismal inside defense. Virginia will not be able to sit in a zone to help with Hansborough as NC has to many outside shooters.
On top of that I have heard much grumbling about Coach Leitao is coming from the players. He is a yeller and screamer and that is all well and good when you are winning - but when you have lost 8 of 9 and are 1-8 in the ACC - they yelling gets old real quick. They are not playing hard for their coach anymore.
If NC gets out to an early lead this will turn into a rout by 25-30 points. Virginia is beat down and can't come back from an early deficit. Their heart isn't in it. That is what I am banking on.
I don't ever have GOYs or Games of the Century, or Games of whatever time period will make people jump on what I think is a good game. I just play the games I like for more money. That is what I will be doing tonight.
That said:
North Carolina -4 1st half
North Carolina -7 Game
Playing the game for three times the amount of the halftime bet.
If you follow - good luck. If you don't - good luck as well.
