Where are all of those people that said the Vegas number was a lock on the over???????????????????????

Bring back Larry Scott!!! He has less losses as Canes head coach than Corch Richt.
 
IMO we will still hit the over. Not by much though. We can possibly still lose to Pitt and NC State. Otherwise we should be good. Prob is, we win 4 straight to open the season against cupcakes, and too many people's expectations became unrealistic.
 
Those season win numbers always slanted slightly upward because the public loves to bet the over. If you add up the projected wins nationwide, both in college and the NFL, it will always be higher than possible. More wins than losses. That's due to the public bias toward the over. Consequently the sportsbooks book two vastly different types of bettors in that pool. They get a steady stream of small public wagers on overs, and limit bets from professional bettors on the under. The professional bettors take the under at least 66-75% of the time.
