Cal vs Boston College Prediction
Neither Cal nor Boston College is playing good basketball right now, so I’m not excited to back either team, especially in the favorite role. However, Cal is at home, where 10 of its 12 wins have come. It’s also senior night for a Cal roster that has four seniors. Boston College has yet to win a road game this season. Cal is also a profitable 15-11-2 ATS on the season. It’s Cal or pass, as there’s much better options out there on a stacked Saturday CBB card.
