The Boston College Eagles (2-4, 1-3 ACC) visit Truist Field Saturday to take on the No. 13 Wake Forest Demon Deacons (5-1, 1-1). Kickoff is set for 3:30 p.m. ET (ACC Network). Below, we look at Boston College vs. Wake Forest odds from Tipico Sportsbook; check back for all our college football picks and predictions.
For the 4th straight week, the Eagles open up as underdogs. Beyond their 34-33 upset victory as 13.5-point home dogs against Louisville earlier this season, Boston College has not been a favorable team to bet on this season – it is 1-5 against the spread (ATS) this season.
Scoring only 20.0 points per game this season, Boston College’s offense ranks 113th in the nation, while the defense gives up an average of 29.0 PPG to rank 84th. Boston College is coming off a bye after losing at home 31-3 to 5th-ranked Clemson Oct. 8.
The Demon Deacons average 41.2 PPG, ranking 14th. They have scored 37 points or more in all but one game, a 31-21 victory at then-No. 22 Florida State. Wake’s only loss came against Clemson despite scoring 45 points in a 6-point, double-OT home loss the week before FSU game. The Deacons have covered the spread in all but one game this season, making them a favorable team to back.
Wake Forest’s defense is decent, allowing 25.5 PPG to rank 63rd in the country. The Deacs will hope to bring their defensive PPG average down this week in a game that they open as heavy favorites.
