Duke's NCAA basketball regular season rivals UNC are suggested as the front-runners by many.
North Carolina is gearing up for a major shift in its sports landscape, as legal online sports betting is set to launch in the state on March 11. Eight operators, including Bet365 (North Carolina), BetMGM (North Carolina), Caesars Sportsbook (North Carolina), DraftKings (North Carolina), ESPN BET (North Carolina), Fanatics Sportsbook (North Carolina), FanDuel (North Carolina), and Underdog Sports (North Carolina), are expected to go live on that day.
As the countdown to the launch begins, North Carolina's basketball teams, the Tar Heels and the Blue Devils, are making headlines on the court as well. The teams are heavy betting favorites to win the ACC regular season title, with North Carolina being a -200 favorite on FanDuel. Duke, on the other hand, is priced at +140.
The sports betting odds reflect the teams' dominance in the league, as they have separated themselves from the rest of the pack. The next closest team in odds to win the ACC is Virginia, with +3800 odds.
The Tar Heels and the Blue Devils will meet for the second time this season on March 9, the regular season finale for both squads. This game could determine the ACC's regular season champion and the No. 1 seed for the ACC Tournament, which begins on March 12. Interestingly, the ACC Tournament will not occur in North Carolina; it will be held in Washington, D.C.
The March 9 game could be pivotal not only for the ACC regular season but also for the ACC Tournament. North Carolina bettors will be able to wager on the ACC Tournament, but they will not be able to wager on the Duke-UNC game on betting apps.
KenPom projects Duke will be a 3-point home favorite in the March 9 game. Duke's next game is a visit to Wake Forest, while North Carolina's next game is a battle against Virginia.
For new users in North Carolina, the bet365 North Carolina Bonus Code offers extras when wagering. This could be a great opportunity for fans to get in on the action as the Tar Heels and Blue Devils fight for ACC supremacy.
The ACC Tournament could see a third meeting between UNC and Duke, with both teams looking strong and determined. As sports betting launches in North Carolina, fans can now add a new layer of excitement to their basketball viewing experience.
