Money Line Pick

Boston College Win

Reasoning

The Eagles of Boston College have secured bowl eligibility thanks to a 5-game winning streak from September 30 to November 3, including road victories at Army and at Georgia Tech. B.C. crashed back to Earth with a 48-22 loss against Virginia Tech last time out, a team fighting for bowl eligibility themselves. The Eagles won’t be facing a team quite as hungry this weekend, as the Panthers of Pittsburgh have long since been eliminated from bowl contention with 8 losses on the season, including setbacks in each of the past 4 outings.

Boston College is a healthy 5-1 straight up (SU) in the past 6 games, while covering in 3 of the past 5 outings. That includes road wins and covers in each of the past 3 such instances. B.C. is averaging 27.3 PPG during those 3 road victories, too, while the defense has allowed 19.0 PPG. For Pittsburgh, it lost 28-13 at Yankee Stadium in a neutral-site game against Syracuse this past weekend, and it has dropped 4 in a row, although 2 of those losses were against ranked teams, Florida State and Notre Dame. Still, Pitt is 1-8 SU in the past 9 games overall, and just 2-7 ATS. The fact Pittsburgh is favored is rather shocking. Take advantage, and play the bowl-bound Eagles on the money line.

Boston College ML (+115) at time of publishing. Playable to +105.
