Corey’s Free Pick

The other school in my hometown comes into an interesting spot as road underdogs here, as Richmond has looked dominant through two games, while Boston College nearly suffered a loss to the Citadel. Despite my ties, I do notice how light of a home margin this could wind up being for Boston College, and after nearly losing last time out, they should come out a bit sharper here. The Eagles played well in their home opener, so let’s look for a similar effort here against Richmond. I’m a VCU guy so this doesn’t feel like betrayal, and I like backing Boston College at home for this non-conference battle.
