Boston College vs. NC State Prediction and Odds (Back Boston College on the Road)

Wednesday night brings us a showdown between two struggling ACC programs when the Boston College Eagles and NC State Wolfpack do battle at the PNC Arena. Both the Eagles (11th) and the Wolfpack (13th) rank among the bottom of the conference but have yet to give up on their respective seasons.

The Eagles are coming off a crushing 71-55 win over Florida State at home that broke a five-game losing streak. Likewise, the Wolfpack snapped a six-game losing streak their last time out with a 76-61 win over the Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets.

It’s clear that when pride is on the line, neither of these two teams are going to play any differently than opening night. Here are the odds for this ACC brawl, courtesy of WynnBET Sportsbook.

Boston College vs. NC State Prediction and Pick

Both teams are coming off unexpected wins and it will be interesting to see which team is best able to keep the momentum rolling.

The Eagles' win over the Seminoles gets higher grades in my book and I think the Wolfpack was playing far worse before their recent win than the Eagles were. The ATS records tell that story with the Wolfpack just 1-7 ATS in their last eight games and haven’t covered a game at home since Jan. 22 against Virginia.

As a home underdog, they are 1-3 ATS on the year and 3-12 overall at the PNC Arena. The Eagles, meanwhile, despite the extended losing streak, covered three of their last four games and five of their last eight. 

While NC State does have an edge in the overall offensive and defensive rankings, the margin is slim. And with the way they have been playing lately, I trust BC to cover this game against a weak conference opponent. 

Lean: Boston College (+6.5) -110
