Boston University vs American Prediction
In this Boston University vs American Prediction, American is coming as -2.5 home favorites. American has been the better team this season and are 3-1 in their last 4 games, but they are up against a Boston squad that has been red-hot lately with a 6-1 record both straight up and against the spread in its last 7 games and has a slightly better offense. I like the value with the road dog in this spot, so take Boston Uni and get the +2.5 points.
