College Football Betting – Boston College at Clemson
WHO: Boston College Eagles (8-2 SU, 5-4 ATS) at Clemson Tigers (8-2 SU, 6-3 ATS)
WHEN & WHERE: Saturday, 7:45 PM ET at Clemson Memorial Stadium (grass) in Clemson, SC — Televised by ESPN2
BETUS COLLEGE FOOTBALL BETTING LINE: Clemson -7.5
LAST POINTSPREAD RESULT: Last week Clemson ran up 412 yards of offense in beating defending ACC champion Wake Forest, 44-10, covering as a 9.5-point favorite. Boston College suffered its second straight loss last weekend at the hands of Maryland, losing 42-35 as a 6.5-point favorite.
HEAD-TO-HEAD college football betting trends:
* BC is 4-0-1 SU in the series
* BC has won and covered the past two meetings
* The last two meetings have been decided by a total of four points
LAST MEETING: Last year Boston College won a 34-33 thriller in overtime as a one-point underdog. It was BC’s second straight overtime win over Clemson.
ABOUT BOSTON COLLEGE:
The Good News — Matt Ryan has thrown for 836 yards in his last two games. Last week in the loss to Maryland he completed 33 of 56 passes for 421 yards and three TD’s. Ryan is still somewhat in the mix for the Heisman Trophy. Boston College is second in the country against the run, allowing just 2.3 yards per attempt and just under 66 yards a game. The Eagles are rated #18 by both the USA Today and Associated Press poll.
The Bad News — Ryan threw two INT’s against Maryland and one of his picks against Florida State was run back for a touchdown. Boston College was without three defensive starters for last week’s game. Safety Marty Bowman is still out, while linebackers Jo-Lonn Dunbar and Tyronne Pruitt are questionable. With its two straight losses, Boston College is now out of the BCS Standings.
BOSTON COLLEGE TRENDS:
* BC has covered five straight as an underdog
* BC is 10-3 ATS in its last 13 as a road dog
* BC has won 13 of its last 19 road games SU
* BC has played six of its nine games OVER the total this year
* BC has played five of its last six road games UNDER the total
ABOUT CLEMSON:
The Good News — Clemson can clinch the ACC’s Atlantic Division title with a win. The Tigers are ranked #16 in the USA Today poll, #15 by the Associated Press, and is now #15 in the BCS Standings. Cullen Harper has been an explosive QB, tossing 31 TD passes against just five interceptions, and C.J. Spiller, who teams with James Davis to form a dynamic backfield, has run a kickoff back for a touchdown in each of the last two games. On defense, the Tigers, with the nation’s fifth-ranked stop unit, have allowed just 262 yards a game over its last five.
The Bad News — Clemson has allowed 27 quarterback sacks. The team’s last win over Boston College was back in 1958. Of course, that’s a little deceiving, as the teams have only met five times (Clemson is 0-4-1 SU in the series)
CLEMSON TRENDS:
* CLEMSON has covered four straight games
* CLEMSON has won five of its last six home games SU
* CLEMSON is 15-5 ATS in its last 20 home finales
* CLEMSON has played four of its last five games OVER the total
Free Pick: CONCLUSION:
Clemson is probably the best team nobody’s talked about. Tommy Bowden’s team can really move the football; Harper has quietly had a sensational season, and the Davis/Spiller combo is one of the best in the country. It was obvious that after losing its national championship hopes, BC was caught napping by Maryland last week. This time they should have some focus, and even with Clemson fired up looking for double revenge, Ryan, along with BC’s staunch run defense, has enough to keep this one very tight. We’ll take the points with Boston College, the 7.5-point underdog in the Top Sportsbooks college football betting odds.
