Providence vs Boston College Betting Prediction
I really have concerns about the motivation for Providence and that is going to hurt them here. Boston College really looked good to close the season and the Eagles and they are averaging 74.6 points per game. I don’t trust the Providence defense and they are going to really struggle to defend in this game. Boston College is going to win this game outright, but we will take the points to be safe. Back Boston College against the spread.
