Boston College vs Louisville Prediction

The current betting odds have Louisville listed as a 25.5 point favorite in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. Louisville has looked really good in their games this season with their 5-1 record overall and their 2-1 conference record which has them right near the top of the ACC. Their only loss this season was against Virginia, but that loss has been aging well. Now they are off a huge upset win over Miami on the road in their last one and they are going to have a ton of momentum from that win. They looked great in that game too as they were leading the entire time. Meanwhile, Boston College has looked terrible in their games this season with their 1-6 record overall and their 0-4 conference record which has them right at the bottom of the ACC. They have been getting blown out in a lot of games lately and they are off a 38-23 loss to UConn in their last one. Their defense has looked terrible all season with the number of points they have been giving up in their games and their offense hasn't been doing much in their games lately either. Louisville has a really good offense that is going to put up a ton of points on this BC defense and they are playing with the momentum from that Miami win. This is also the first time all season that Louisville has been ranked inside the top 25 so they will be fighting to keep that ranking with a big win over the worst team in the conference. The best way to place a bet here is on Louisville to cover the spread in this game.

Notable Quotes


“I’m very confident. I think this is a place where you can win in football. People have asked why have we regressed, there’s several factors. I’ve told you after every game we haven’t coached as well as we did last year. There’s some guys that were on our team last year that are playing on Sunday’s now. There’s some young players here that have had to play right away. These aren’t excuses. It is what it is. I think recruiting’s going really well. BC’s making a commitment to football here which I think is big and there’s a future. “ - Bill O’Brien on the direction of the program.


“This is what college football is all about. Every week is going to be a contest down to the very end, no matter who you play.” - Jeff Brohm after his team’s win against Miami-Florida in their last game.
