- Louisville vs. Boston College kicks off at 7:30 p.m. ET on Friday on ESPN2.
- Louisville is 0-3 straight up in its last three road games at Boston College.
Weeknight football continues in the ACC with a Friday trip to Chestnut Hill. A road trip to Boston College is the latest challenge awaiting Louisville, which has fought through many consecutive weeks of difficult games.
NCAA football odds price Louisville as a healthy favorite in this game, at least according to the BetMGM online sportsbook.
How should bettors handle this college edition of Friday night lights? I’ve got my betting preview below.
Louisville vs. Boston College Odds
- Point Spread: Louisville -7
- Moneyline: Louisville -275 | Boston College +220
- Over/Under: 53.5
Louisville vs. Boston College Preview
As far as I can tell, everything about this game points in one handicapping direction.
Let’s start with the simple details like the date and time of the game. Boston College played last Thursday, while Louisville played a regular Saturday game in Week 8. That gives the Eagles a two-day rest advantage on top of homefield advantage.
Historically, Louisville has not played well as a road team at Boston College. The Cardinals are 0-3 outright at Boston College, including the most recent 2022 game where they closed as a 13-point favorite.
In the series as a whole, the home team has won each of the last six meetings and is 5-1 ATS. Boston College is 6-4 ATS against Louisville since the Cardinals joined the ACC.
More than 60% of market-wide tickets are biting the number with Louisville, making this a clear public land mine.
Louisville vs. Boston College Prediction
I am predicting a Boston College cover on Friday night in Chestnut Hill.
Even if Louisville isn’t run down after games against Notre Dame, Miami, Southern Methodist, and UVA, a trip to Boston College is not a place the Cardinals have historically performed well.
For prospective parlay bettors, consider an SGP of Boston College +7 and Over 53.5. The over is 6-2 across the last eight games.
Personally, I’ll stick to Boston College +7 with a sprinkle on the +220 moneyline as well.
Louisville vs. Boston College Pick: Boston College +7
