Boston College vs FAU Prediction 11/3/2025 Today’s College Basketball Picks

The Boston College Eagles and FAU Owls meet Monday in the college basketball action at the Eleanor R. Baldwin Arena. Here’s a Boston College vs FAU Prediction. This article will include a Boston College vs FAU Pick.

Boston College Eagles Betting Preview

The Boston College Eagles won 12 games last season and enter year five under coach Earl Grant. Boston College has won double-digit games in each of the last four seasons.

Donald Hand Jr. returns after averaging 15.7 points and 1.3 assists, while Fred Payne averaged 6.9 points and 2.5 rebounds. Chas Kelley III averaged 4.4 points and 2 assists, and Jayden Hastings played in 465 minutes last season. Boston College has some decent returning production, including its best player in Hand, who was the most improved player in the ACC last season. BC also snagged Aidan Shaw from Missouri, Boden Kapke from Butler, and Jason Asemota from Baylor. Boston College has been an afterthought in the ACC over the years, but there’s potential with this roster to top last year’s win total.

FAU Owls Betting Preview

The FAU Owls won 18 games last season and enter the second year under coach John Jakus. FAU has won no fewer than 18 games in each of the last four years.

Niccolo Moretti returns after averaging 6.4 points and 3.4 assists, while Max Langenfeld averaged 3.2 points and 1.7 rebounds. Devin Vanterpool averaged 2 points and 0.5 assists, and he’s the only other returning player for the Owls. FAU doesn’t have a lot of returning production, but big things are expected of freshman Josiah Parker, who is expected to be one of the best in the AAC. Isaiah Elohim comes over from USC, and Kanaan Carlyle transfers from Stanford and Indiana. There are a lot of new faces on this roster, but FAU snagged talent through the transfer portal and recruiting.

Boston College vs FAU Prediction

You could argue Boston College will have the best player on the court, but this is still a program that has to prove it to me. Boston College just doesn’t win enough to trust most nights against respectable teams. FAU is much more talented than last season and needs to take advantage of games like this at home if it’s going to make noise this year. National TV game against a team from a power conference, FAU doesn’t get chances like this often. This is an early statement game. I’ll lay the bucket.
