Boston College Opens As Big Favorites Against UMass
The betting line for Boston College (1-0) and UMass (0-1) has opened, with Circa Sports installing the Eagles at (-38). This is the second straight game the Minutemen have been -38 point under dogs against an ACC team.
While many betting books did not have a line for BC and Colgate, ActionSports Network had them at -50.5, meaning that BC is 1-0 against the spread this season. Pitt defeated UMass 52-7, and easily covered the -38 spread.
The last time these two teams played was in 2018, a game Boston College won easily 55-21. The Eagles comfortably defeated UMass 55-21 at Alumni Stadium. Boston College covered the -20.5 spread heading into that game.
This game is a bit different though in terms of betting. The game will be held at McGuirk Stadium, on the campus of UMass. Will being on the road lessen the potential winning differential? Or will Boston College's passing attack be too much for the Minutemen?
