From the booth
The model favored BC to win, and the call landed.
Boston College is your slight favorite here at 59 percent to win, and the Vegas line agrees, laying three and a half points in favor of the Eagles at home. The betting market's backing BC as well, though we're talking a pretty tight matchup overall. Rutgers has a small edge in team rating and they're getting a later-season bump, but when you factor in the home-field advantage and what the smart money's doing, Boston College has just enough to be favored in this one.
