Each Friday on ESPN Insider, ESPN Chalk college basketball handicapper Andrew Lange will give you against-the-spread picks on the biggest games of the weekend.

Here's a look at UNC-Louisville and Duke-Virginia, among others (all games are Saturday).

Note: Lines are projections on Friday.


Duke Blue Devils (plus-8.5) at Virginia Cavaliers, 7 p.m. ET (ESPN)

Duke led by 10 midway through the second half at Notre Dame, and its defense was exposed yet again as Notre Dame pulled out the 77-73 win Wednesday night. I was surprised to see Duke close as a 1.5-point favorite, but then again, Duke always gets a lot of public betting support. The Blue Devils won't be favored in this spot as they travel to take on Virginia.
