Bet on Clemson vs. Boston College
Clemson has won five straight meetings with Boston College, covering the spread in four of the five games. Boston College is just 5-12 ATS in its last 17 games overall and 3-8 ATS in their last 11 ACC games. While the Eagles upset Duke, I don’t see BC putting up consistent performances this year. Clemson has a lot of momentum right now and I think they will come away with a big win on the road. The public betting is with BC at home, but I think the Tigers cover on the road.
