2 Best North Carolina vs Wake Forest ATS, O/U Bets

1. Wake Forest ATS (-1)

We are loving what the Demon Deacons are achieving in 2025, including five consecutive wins since New Year’s Day.

They scored three road wins against Syracuse, Miami and Virginia Tech. They are tough teams to beat on the road, so it bodes well for the Deacons, who also defeated Stanford 80-67 at home last week.

That’s a key NCAAB betting guide, seeing as North Carolina comes off a 72-71 loss to Stanford. That was a home game for the Tar Heels, so it was a bad loss, and it makes the -1 line for Wake Forest seem generous.

The Deacons are 6-1 in the ACC and chasing down Duke for the top spot. We’re not putting them on the same line as a team like Duke, but they’re playing well enough to cause some damage in the conference.

Hunter Sallis scored 24 points against the Hokies, and if he has a similar performance against North Carolina, we’re comfortable that Wake Forest will win and cover the -1 NCAAB spread on Tuesday.

There is also good value for Sallis to score over his points total. He’s a confident player and he should be buoyed by his recent effort.

Bet Wake Forest -1 vs North Carolina

 

2. North Carolina vs Wake Forest Under 148

My last college basketball expert pick has this game going under the total, in what should be a low-scoring affair in North Carolina.

We expect a similar game to what Wake Forest and Virginia Tech produced when scoring 135 points, and bettors get a few more points to work with on Tuesday night.

North Carolina defeated NC State by scoring just 63 points, so the defenses are good enough to make it tough for the offense to shine. Wake Forest allows 65.7 points per game, so if they keep to that number, the game should go under 148½ points.

Include the under in your Tuesday NCAAB picks.

Bet on North Carolina vs Wake Forest under 148½
