Boston College at Duke picks and predictions
Prediction
Duke 78, Boston College 70
Moneyline
PASS.
The Blue Devils (-880) are the far better side, but at -880, they have no value to play outright. Similarly, Boston College hasn't played a top-25 team on the road and may struggle. It isn't worth a play either.
Against the spread
BET BOSTON COLLEGE +12.5 (-110).
Duke is a popular team and often a strong betting favorite for the public. Well, it hasn't covered well as of late. The Blue Devils are 2-5 ATS in their last 7 and have only won by more than 5 at home in just 1 of their last 4 games.
While Boston College doesn't have a great covering streak currently, it has scorers that can hang with Duke. The Eagles have 4 players averaging double figures and 2 of them are shooting over 50% from the field. The efficiency is there to keep pace with Duke. The Eagles are 2-1 ATS in their last 3 and 1-0-1 ATS in their last 2 road games.
Take BOSTON COLLEGE +12.5 (-110).

Boston College is 1-4-1 O/U in its last 6 and hasn't allowed over 80 since Jan. 13. It has scored north of 71 in just 1 of its last 6.
Couple it all together, and take UNDER 148.5 (-110).
