No. 25 Miami vs No. 12 North Carolina Odds

• Opening point spread: North Carolina -4
• Opening moneyline: North Carolina -175/Miami +143
• Opening total: Over/Under 56.5 points scored
• Time: 7:30 p.m. ET Saturday (ABC)

UPDATE 2 P.M. ET FRIDAY: North Carolina spent most of the week at various iterations of -3.5 at BetMGM (-105/-110/-115). In just the past half hour, though, the Tar Heels dropped to -3. North Carolina is taking 63% of spread bets/62% of spread cash.

The total went from 56.5 to 55.5 to 57.5, all on Monday, then Thursday afternoon returned to the 56.5 opener. Ticket count is 3/1 and money beyond 9/1 on the Over.

UPDATE MIDNIGHT ET MONDAY: This ACC clash should be a battle of unbeatens. But it was kept from being so when Miami coach Mario Cristobal made one of the dumbest play calls ever.

With the clock running and under 35 seconds left, and Georgia Tech having no timeouts, Miami could've taken a knee with its 20-17 lead and ended the game. Instead, the 'Canes – at Tech's 30-yard line – ran the ball, fumbled, and the Yellow Jackets recovered.

Miami (4-1 SU/3-2 ATS), laying 19.5 points, then lost 23-20 on Georgia Tech's final-seconds 44-yard touchdown pass.

North Carolina (5-0 SU/4-1 ATS) had no such brain cramps against Syracuse. The Tar Heels scored the first 27 points in a 40-7 victory laying 9.5 points at home.

TwinSpires opened UNC -4, receded to -3.5, then returned to -4. Tickets and money are running close to even early on.

"Sharp play on both sides after the opener. See-saw action so far," Lucas said.

The total hasn't moved off 56.5, with 55% of early tickets/57% of early dollars on the Under.
