Wagner-North Carolina Best Bet
Wagner +25 (-108)
DraftKings Sportsbook • 1 Unit
Wagner nearly blowing a massive lead to Howard in their First Four game can’t be understated, and they only have seven active players, but this is a MASSIVE number, and North Carolina has been somewhat prone to slower starts this season. Wagner is playing with no restraints and really has nothing to lose here.
The key for the Seahawks in this game will be to throw whatever they can at Armando Bacot in the paint. If he has an off night at all whatsoever, then the door is open for Wagner to cover this spread. They’re not going to have a shot to win, but limiting what North Carolina can do will go a long way towards keeping this within 25 points.
