The under is 12-5 in Eagles last 17 games overall. The over is 6-2 in Wolfpack last 8 games following a ATS win. The Eagles are 3-1-1 ATS in their last 5 meetings.
The Boston College Eagles aren’t winning, aren’t covering, and they’re just a soft team that can’t run the ball or play defense. This isn’t the typical Boston College teams we’re used to seeing where it competes and plays hard. The NC State Wolfpack are one of the better teams in the country that doesn’t get national spotlight, and they have one of the better defenses in the country that’s 13th in scoring defense. I can’t get jiggy with what Boston College is doing right now. I’ll lay the points.
