It?s hard to find a more anticipated college basketball matchup than when Duke heads to Chapel Hill to battle North Carolina. This Saturday, the two ACC contenders will try their luck against each other in the final game of their respective seasons.

Making matters particularly more intriguing is the fact that each club is ranked amongst the nation?s best heading into the final stretch of the season. Although the Blue Devils have flourished for the majority of the year - spending much of the first half of the season ranked No. 1 overall - the Tar Heels have fluctuated in and out of the AP polls altogether.

Currently ranked No. 13, the Tar Heels will host the Blue Devils at 8:00 PM EST. Bet on college basketball?s greatest rivalry with Bodog?s online sportsbook.

Now ranked No. 4, and coming off a recent loss to unranked Virginia Tech, the pressure will be on Coach K and his defending national champions to prove that they deserve their spot back atop the pedestal (Sorry Buckeyes). It won?t be easy against a hungry UNC team, but the Blue Devils prevailed 79-73 the last time the two teams met.

According to Bodog, Duke is among a select few programs that could legitimately contend for the NCAA tournament title this year. Their odds of winning March Madness are +400 at BODOG.

The expected North Carolina forecast, although not as optimistic as Duke?s, has the Tar Heels as a potential contender as well. In order to make a stir in the upcoming ACC and national tournament, the club will need continued production from junior Tyler Zeller and freshman super prospect Harrison Barnes.

Before either club gets too comfortable with the idea of delving deep into March Madness, they?ll have to first handle business in the ACC. That starts this weekend.
