Boston College vs. North Carolina Prediction, Odds, Line, Spread, and Picks - January 17

The Boston College Eagles are on the road tonight as they will face the North Carolina Tar Heels in Chapel Hill.

Boston College have lost their last three and four of their last five. They are 8-10 this season, with a 2-5 record in ACC play. They haven't picked up a win on the road yet this season, and will surely look to make tonight their first.

Meanwhile, UNC is 8-0 at home this season. The preseason #1 Tar Heels haven't played as well as they had imagined thus far, but they are 12-6 this season. They are 4-3 in the ACC, but still within striking distance of the top spot.

Boston College needs a strong road showing for once, while UNC would love to keep its home record pristine. Let's see how these teams stack up tonight.
