Those looking to bet Friday night's Boston College Eagles vs. Syracuse Orange football game from either New York or Massachusetts will need to do so through one of their favorite offshore sportsbooks as neither state allows regulated apps to take bets on in-state schools or games that feature them.
Line and Action
The action was pretty balanced on the spread early on. Syracuse came in as the -2.5 to -3 home favorite depending on the book. Boston College has the better record at 5-3 Straight Up but are just 3-5 Against The Spread. Syracuse is 4-4 SU with a 3-4-1 record Against The Spread. This line is On The Money based on the Sagarin number (3.68). There is no edge that we can find in this range of 2.5/3 with the accurate number.
The OVER had 90% of the early action, which was relatively limited. The total moved from 51 to 50.5 across the board.
Teams Going in the Opposite Direction
Whereas Boston College has won its last four games, Syracuse dropped its last four.
Kye Robichaux ran for 112 yards and two touchdowns for the Eagles while Thomas Castellanos threw for another score in a victory against Connecticut 21-14 last Saturday.
Castellanos completed 16-of-24 passes for 151 yards.
Leading the nation in rushing yards by a quarterback coming into the day, the sophomore transfer from Central Florida carried 14 times for 45 yards.
Though Syracuse has won the last two seasons against Boston College, the Eagles are 3-1 Against The Spread over the last four meetings using the current +3 number.
