The current betting odds have WF listed as a 20.5 point favorite in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. Wake Forest has been very good this year with their only loss of the season coming against the undefeated Clemson, a game they almost won in OT as well. They have been blowing out a lot of the bad teams they have faced though and this is another bad team they are playing here. Wake Forest managed to go toe-to-toe with Clemson when they played while Boston College only put up 3 points on them last week, and they were at home for the game too. BC has had a really bad offense all year too, Jurkovec hasn't been the guy he was supposed to be and they have only won 2 of their 6 games because of it. Wake Forest has been putting up a ton of points in their games and this is just another game where they are going to run away with the score as Boston College struggles to even put up points themselves let alone keep the game close. Wake Forest has been dominant in this conference going back to last season and they are going to show why they are a ranked team with a big win out of their bye week. The best way to place a bet here is on Wake Forest to cover the spread in this game.
