UPDATE 6:30 P.M. ET SATURDAY: This line has gone on a wild ride at BetMGM Nevada. The Tar Heels opened -11.5 and got bet up to -14.5 by Thursdat, including sharp play on UNC -12.5. But the line has since tumbled down to Carolina -10.5, with the final 2 points coming this afternoon.

Early sharp play on Carolina +12.5, then sharp play on Duke +14," BetMGM Nevada's Scott Shelton said. "Tickets pretty much dead even, but money is 5/1 on Duke. The biggest bet on Duke is $15,750."

UPDATE 1:30 P.M. ET FRIDAY: North Carolina opened as 11.5-point chalk at BetMGM and moved out to -14.5 by Thursday morning, with multiple stops along the way. On Thursday afternoon, the Tar Heels backed up to -14 (-115), and they're now at -13.5.

Duke is actually netting 64% of spread tickets, along with 52% of spread cash.

The total opened at 50.5 and nudged up to 51 this afternoon. Current splits aren't available.

UPDATE 3 P.M. ET MONDAY: After falling out of the rankings with two straight losses, North Carolina (7-2 SU/6-3 ATS) moved back in a week later. The Tar Heels got a breather in Week 10, facing FCS foe Campbell, and rolled 59-7 as 38.5-point favorites.

Duke (6-3 SU/4-5 ATS) was ranked for much of the season, before back-to-back losses to solid Florida State and Louisville outfits. In the 23-0 setback at Louisville, the Blue Devils lost QB Riley Leonard to a toe injury.

Leonard didn't play in Week 10 vs. Wake Forest and likely won't play this week. The Blue Devils earned a 24-21 win over Wake, but failed to cover as 6.5-point home faves.

The Duke-Carolina line has been a big mover early in Caesars' college football odds Week 11 market. The Tar Heels jumped straight from -9.5 to -11 Sunday evening, then today advanced to -11.5 and -12.
