that means more bets are being placed on UNC. And there is no doubt why!

Go Heels!

The paper today had it as a Pick. Does that mean the money being bet was even? Serious question.

I wouldnt put a dime on this game. It could go either way depending on who wants it more. Hustle plays and defense will decide this game imhpb&jo

Close, but not exactly. When the line CHANGES, it means that bettors are betting heavily on one team or the other.

When the line opened at 2.5, that means the sportsbooks think people will need some "encouragement" to bet on Carolina. So they get a couple of points to make it easier.
