Forget the virus issues and all of the other ways to analyze college football games at the moment, and let’s just play this one straight.
Boston College should be good enough to beat Duke outright, much less need the six points we’re being given.
It’s a new era with a new head coach, but Jeff Hafley has his quarterback in Notre Dame transfer Phil Jurkovec, and most importantly for this, the Eagle lines are good enough to potentially take over the game.
Give Duke credit for keeping it close against Notre Dame in a 27-13 loss, but the offense didn’t have enough of a running game, QB Chase Brice was just okay, and there were too many times the attack stalled out.
But the Duke defense is good, and the program has a game under its belt while BC is starting cold. If this doesn’t work out, chalk it up to that, but again, in normal times, the Eagles would be a far easier call as the underdog.
