Boston College at Clemson picks and predictions
Prediction
Clemson 79, Boston College 75
Moneyline
PASS.
Clemson (-480) should bounce back against a Boston College that isn't as good as the Tigers' last few opponents. However, at -480, there's no value on Clemson to win outright.
Against the spread
LEAN BOSTON COLLEGE +9.5 (-110).
The Eagles have covered 3 of their last 6 games. While they are 1-3 ATS in ACC games, they have lost by 10 points or fewer in each of those 4 games (winning 1 of them outright as well). Boston College has a competent team, beating St. John's and Vanderbilt and taking NC State to overtime.
As of now, Clemson isn't 10 points better than many programs, having lost 3 straight games, all double-figure defeats. It has lost 4 of its last 6, only beating non-Power 5 programs in that stretch. The Tigers are 1-6 ATS as favorites of 0-10. While they should come out on top, don't expect a cover.
Take BOSTON COLLEGE +9.5 (-110).

Over/Under
BET OVER 150.5 (-108).
If there's 1 thing both sides like to do, it is run and score. Clemson has gone Over in 10 of 15 games this season and has topped the total in 5 of its last 6. It has scored at least 80 points in 3 of its last 5 games.
Boston College plays a similar style, having gone Over in 7 of its last 8. The Eagles have scored at least 85 in 4 of their last 6. Expect a high-tempo, high-scoring battle.
Take OVER 150.5 (-108).
