Boston College vs. NC State Prediction

I’m with Boston College here. I’m simply of the belief that between two teams that are each 2-11 in ACC conference play, one should not be laying nearly double-digits over the other, especially when they’ve lost 9 in a row, and I don’t care how due NC State is or how many close games they’ve been in. Boston College just went down to the wire with Notre Dame and also scored 86 points in their last road game against Syracuse. I think Boston College can hang here. Give me Boston College and the points in this one.
