Boston College Eagles

The Eagles covered just two of ten spreads as favorites in 2025-26 and 13 of 21 as underdogs. Only 14 Division I teams were worse when laying points, so on a Boston College line the side of the number matters more than the opponent.

Laying points: two covers in ten

Every Boston College favorite spread came at home or on a neutral floor in November and December, and the Eagles beat only two of them: 76-47 over The Citadel and 73-60 over Harvard. The worst was a 60-59 home loss to Central Connecticut at -17.5, priced -4000 on the moneyline. Four more home wins as favorites of 12.5 points or more missed, Fairleigh Dickinson among them, 72-61 laying 16.5. December was the purest case: 3-2 straight up, zero covers in five. Straight up the Eagles were only 6-4 as favorites, and one unit on them in those ten games lost 3.41 units.

Getting points: 13 covers in 21

As underdogs the Eagles covered 61.9%. January showed it best: 2-6 straight up, six covers in eight, including losses inside the number at Louisville getting 21.5 and at Duke in February getting 26.5. The outright upsets paid too: 81-73 over Syracuse at +220 and 68-67 over Wake Forest at +154.

Overall they covered 15 of 31, 48.4%, with almost nothing between home (9 of 17) and road (6 of 11). The split that matters on a Boston College spread is favorite against underdog, not venue.

The moneyline

One unit on Boston College in all 31 games lost 11.91 units, 8.5 of them on the road, where the Eagles went 1-10. February cost 5.46 at 1-7.

The under

Nineteen of 31 games went under, 61.3%; only 41 teams went under more often. The Eagles scored 67.42 points a game, and just 26 Division I teams scored fewer.

Notre Dame was the one pair they split: covered both, won the second 77-69 at +102.
