North Carolina Tar Heels a Smart Pick?

Except for USC, the favorites are still the favorites in NCAA football but for those of you who aren't attracted to short odds then there are options.

Now that most teams in the NCAA have a few games under their belts it's time to sprinkle some long shots.  The reason now is a good time is because it's late enough in the season to get at least a little bit of information about the teams in the market and it's still early enough to get a really great price on any "long shot with ability" that you find.  When looking for a long shot to pick, look for a team that is 3-0, that plays in a strong conference, and who offers a price that could payoff in a huge way.

As long as the odds are long enough, pick that team no matter what: they could be a deadly team that is below everybody's radar.

The University of North Carolina is undefeated at the present time and they play in the Atlantic Coast Conference.  Although they would likely have to run the tables to be considered for the national championship game they are priced at +10000 (100/1; Ladbrokes) and that price is worth a bit of a sprinkle.

Also the Michigan Wolverines, out of the tough Big Ten, are still undefeated at 3-0.  They too would likely have to run the tables to have a shot at the national championship game but priced at +3300 (33/1; bet365) they could be gambled on (but the Tar Heels +10000, 100/1 is a much smarter pick just because of the price).

College sports in America is famous for Cinderellas and when they cash in, they cash in hard.
While perfect records after a few games might be nothing, it is imaginable that they could be the start of something big if things start to align.  There's nothing wrong with conservative sprinkles that don't cripple your bank roll if they don't pan out.
