Through five weeks of play, Boston College has the #1 defense in the nation by several measures. However, the offense continues to struggle mightily. That said, Vegas seems to think that they can score at least 10, because BC has been installed as a 9.5 point favorite by Wynn Las Vegas and other online sports books in advance of Saturday's game against Wake Forest.
The Eagles are now 1-2 against the spread this season after falling to Duke by 2 as a 4.5 point underdog. Previously, BC fell short of the spread against both Florida State and Northern Illinois.
