On the other side of this matchup is the Miami Hurricanes who have dealt with injuries all season and coming into this game they have lost six games in a row.

The over is 14-2 in Boston College’s last 16 games overall. Boston College is 8-1 against the spread in their last nine meetings against Miami. The underdog is 8-1 against the spread in the last nine meetings played between Boston College and Miami.
I don’t trust laying any amount of points with Miami even at home, and I think Boston College is going to find success. This is the same Boston College team that beat Notre dame two games ago. Back Boston College against the spread.
