NC State vs Boston College Prediction
The NC State Wolfpack should be favored because they’re at home, where all nine of their wins this season have come. However, this is a thick line for a NC State team that’s lost nine of its last 10 games and 8-16 ATS on the season. NC State has scored 66 or fewer points in eight of its last 10 games, which makes it hard to lay big numbers. Yes, Boston College isn’t much better, but we’re also not being asked to lay nearly nine points. Also, Boston College is coming off a decent performance where it almost upset Notre Dame. It’s BC and the points or pass for me.
