We’re still months away from the kickoff of the 2017 NCAA football season, but there are already early odds being posted in the Las Vegas sportsbooks.
South Point Casino has the Eagles as a somewhat surprising 2 point underdog to the Northern Illinois Huskies (shout out to our friends at Eagle Outsider for the find). However, as the game is being played in Dekalb, that would put Boston College as a one point favorite (roughly) at a neutral site.
Still, Vegas is looking at this as a close game, which should probably raise an eyebrow.
