Boston College Eagles vs Stanford Cardinal Prediction

In this Boston College Eagles vs Stanford Cardinal Prediction, Stanford is coming as a -10.5 home favorites. Stanford State is rightfully favored, as they have a better record this season, and have been dominating at home, while Boston College has been winless on the road.

Stanford is 2-4 in their last 6 overall games, but are 5-1 in their last 6 at home. The Cardinal are having trouble covering spreads, as they are 0-7 against the spread in their last 7 games. The Eagles are coming off back-to-back wins, but they had a 1-7 record before that. Boston College has been efficient in covering spreads lately, as they are 4-0 against the spread in their last 4 games. Given those facts, I will take a pass on the side, and take a look at both teams playing some lower-scoring games lately, going for 5-1 to the under in their last 6 games combined, as both are sitting on the bottom 100 of the nation in field goal percentage. I expect a low-scoring struggle, so take the under.
