The current betting odds have Duke listed as a 9.5 point favorite in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. Duke has had plenty of rest for this game as they just had their bye week but they went into their bye off of a win on the road against Miami and that should boost their confidence coming into this game. Boston College has been terrible in all of their games this season as their defense gives up a lot of points and their offense struggles to even move the ball. They just took a very bad loss on the road to UConn losing 13-3 in a very low scoring game where there was no offense from either side really, but that loss is even worse than it looks since UConn is a team that has struggled to win more than 1 game per season over the last few years. Duke has a really good team that is putting up a ton of points on offense and they have played very well in their road games this year. They are the better team here and Boston College is going to continue losing games by a lot until they start to find their offense again. The best way to place a bet here is on Duke to cover the spread in this game.

"We challenged our guys on defense. We knew this was going to be a game where field position was going to matter. We were going to have to create turnovers to be successful.” - Mike Elko after his team’s win against Miami-FL in their last game.

 

 

"Their defense stopped us over and over again. We had chances, but we need to coach better on offense and make more plays on offense. It's coaching and playing." - Jeff Hafley after his team’s loss against UConn in their last game.
