BOSTON COLLEGE vs MIAMI PREDICTION PICK
The Eagles pounded Miami early in the season but Boston College was a different team. Their head coach has been dismissed and several players are no longer on the roster. Miami will also be looking for revenge as it was one of its worst losses of the season. Neither of these teams plays good defense so this is expected to be a high-scoring game but since it is in Miami, the Hurricanes will have the offensive advantage. This line opened at -1.5 but has increased to -3.5 indicating a large amount of early Sharp action on this game. The Bookie is rolling with the Miami Hurricanes to cover the spread in this one.
