The current betting odds have Boston College listed as an 18 point underdog in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. Boston College has been having a terrible year as they are one of the worst teams in the ACC this season but they finally showed some fight last week in their 38-31 loss to Duke and their offense looked really good in that game despite trailing the entire time. They never quit in that game even when they were down by a lot and they just kept coming back putting more pressure on Duke to keep scoring points in the game. NC State had a big win at home over Wake Forest last week and they have been managing to get by in their games with their backup QB in. That was a big win for them though and they might overlook Boston College in this game with the season they have been having. BC is going to put up a fight in this game though and even if they still lose, they are not going to get blown out here by an offense that doesn't score a ton of points as the strength is in their defense for NC State. The best way to place a bet here is on Boston College to cover the spread in this game.
