North Carolina -27.5(-110)Elon @ North Carolina

UNC will open the season ranked 9th in the country as they get ready to take on Elon Monday night. The Tar Heels may have lost some key talent last year due to graduation, but they still have plenty of talent to help this team be a top contender in this year’s NCAA season.  First-team All-American R.J. Davis will be returning, along with Elliott Cadeau. Davis is a fifth-year senior who averaged 21.2 points per game last season, and Cadeau averaged 7.3 points and 4.1 assists per game last season.  

Elon will have be amped up heading into this game in hopes to pull off a massive upset to start the season.  Elon went 13-19 last season, including a 3-12 record on the road.  This team isn’t expected to fare much better than last year as they’re predicted to finish 12th in their division.  Junior TK Simpkins was the team’s leading scorer last season with 13.8 ppg,  and was one of its top rebounders at 4.7 rebounds per game.  This is a clear mismatch for the Elon Phoenix, but I can assure you one thing, they’re going to give it their all as they get ready to face a juggernaut of a UNC team on Monday night on national television.  Elon may give UNC fans a scare at first, but I think RJ Davis will take control as he’s arguably the best player in college basketball right now. I expect UNC to dominant in the paint and win big to open the season.

Elon vs UNC prediction: UNC -27.5 (-110) available at time of publishing. Playable at that number.

What Are The Best College Basketball Betting Sites

There are many ways in which you can wager on a college basketball game, with the most popular markets being Against the Spread, Totals, and Money line picks. There are also many online sportsbooks or betting sites in which you can place these wagers.

So what are the best college basketball betting sites?

Well, much of that is based upon opinion, with different users favoring different sportsbooks’ design or interfaces, the access to a mobile app, and many other determining factors. One thing that all bettors must prioritize with our best bets and finding the best betting sites are the College Basketball Betting Odds and betting lines on offer at that sportsbook.

Not every sportsbook prices up a game the same way. It is a competitive industry, and that gives the edge to the bettors, who can shop the odds to find the best betting lines or odds. An extra point or two against the spread can often decide if a bet wins or loses, and why place a wager at +200 when you can get +300 elsewhere.
