With one game left in the regular season, gamblers have had nothing to work with off the Boston College Eagles. Despite being 3-8 on the year, BC is 5-6 against the spread, including 4-0 in games considered "road games." After losing by only three to Notre Dame on Saturday, the Eagles cemented themselves as one of the hardest teams to bet against, especially in road games.
As a result, Vegas gamblers installed Boston College as 3.5 point favorites over the Syracuse Orange for their season finale at the Carrier Dome on Saturday afternoon.
While the BC success at covering the spread on the road would be optimism for Eagles fans, Syracuse remains one of the toughest outs against the spread at home.
