***KNOCKOUT PUNCH OF THE DAY***
I am putting an end to this KPOD losing streak today with the Tar Heels. The line opened at 13 and has quickly dropped to 11 as a result of Lawson's uncertainty. However, what the public fails to recognize is Lawson's status was always questionable and already factored into the opening line. I also believe the public is over-valuing Tech's win yesterday over Miami. Despite that blowout win their showing was less than impressive. Carolina failed to cover the 9.5 point spread on the road just 9 days ago and now opens as a 13 point fave on a neutral floor and with Lawson doubtful?? I don't think so!! Va. Tech was far more desperate for a win in that game and couldn't get it done in front of their home crowd so what makes anyone think they are going to get it done today on a neutral floor?? Bottom line, I will take a very well rested, deep, talented, athletic, and veteran Carolina team any day over a Tech team playing on no rest. Additionally, with all of the upsets yesterday you have to believe this Carolina team, along with a few others, will be extra focused today so not to fall victim to the same embarrassment!! My prediction: NORTH CAROLINA 92 VA TECH 67
