Tonight, the No. 5 N.C. State Wolfpack (14-11) at Chapel Hill.

The Tar Heels were upset by the Wolfpack 83-79 on Feb. 3. The victory snapped a six-game losing streak for N.C. State and shocked the Tar Heels.

The loss to Virginia at 9-3.

Speaking of conference, the Tar Heels are 16-7-1 ATS (against the spread) in their last 24 games vs. ACC opponents.

The Tar Heels return home after beating a ranked team on the road for the fourth time, 77-72, over the then No. 21 sports betting option.

Tyler Hansbrough, who had 24 points in the last meeting with the Wolfpack, had 17 points and seven rebounds to lead the Tar Heels in the payday win.

Hansbrough is averaging 18.5 points and 7.7 rebounds on a North Carolina team that is shooting 50.4 percent from the field and ranks second in the nation with 87.7 points per game.

If the forward can post another solid game, it may be lights out for the Wolfpack, who are 1-5 ATS in the last six meetings against the Tar Heels.

The Wolfpack are also coming off a win. Sunday, N.C. State beat Virginia Tech 81-56 in an easy cover victory. Engin Atsur scored 20 points while Ben McCauley added 16 for the Wolfpack, who shot a season-high 67 percent from the field.

N.C. State struggles putting back-to-back paydays together, as the Wolfpack are 4-11 ATS in their last 15 games following a cover win, which is important to keep in mind no matter if you bet online or via phone for tonight's contest.

Those who bet on sports most likely already know the Tar Heels enter tonight's game as the -20½ point favorites, which is not good news for N.C. State investors considering the Wolfpack are 1-5 ATS in their last six games as a road underdog of 13-points or greater. The Tar Heels are 8-3 ATS in their last 11 games as the chalk of 13-points +.
