The Boston College Eagles (2-0) and Missouri Tigers (2-0) clash Saturday at Memorial Stadium/Faurot Field. Kickoff is scheduled for 12:45 p.m. ET (SEC Network). Let’s analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s college football odds around the Boston College vs. Missouri odds, and make our expert college football picks and predictions.
BC, who sits just outside of the Top 25, shocked the country by taking down No. 10 Florida State 28-13 in their season opener. The followed that up by dropping the Duquesne Dukes 56-0 last week. BC is 2-0 ATS and 1-1 O/U on the young season. QB Thomas Castellanos has been superb in the 1st 2 games, going 19-for-26 (73.1%) for 340 yards, 6 TDs and 0 INTs.
Missouri, No. 8 in the US LBM Coaches Poll, will receive its 1st test of the season, after they blew out Murray State 51-0 and Buffalo 38-0. WR Luther Burden III has not had to do much, but he has reached pay dirt in both games. He has combined for 7 catches for 64 yards and 1 TD while rushing twice for 21 yards and another TD. TE Brett Norfleet (shoulder), who missed the last game, is expected to suit up against BC.

Boston College at Missouri picks and predictions
Prediction
Missouri 41, Boston College 35
Moneyline
There is no play here. I think BC will push Mizzou, but the Tigers will ultimately prevail. If BetMGM offers up a profit boost token, consider putting it on Luther Burden anytime touchdown (-135). I need better odds to take that one natively, though.
PASS.
Against the spread
I’m all over BC’s side here. Castellanos is a massive upgrade over the QBs Mizzou has faced thus far, and this team is battle tested.
Take BOSTON COLLEGE +15.5 (-110).
Over/Under
Mizzou posted 51 and 38 points while pitching shutouts in their 1st 2 games. How will they respond when they give up their 1st touchdown or even trail for the 1st time? BC put up 56 points last week and its offense is clicking. BC beat Mizzou 41-34 in OT in 2021, and I look for a similar spirited shootout.
Take the OVER 54 (-110).
