Boston College v Duke NCAA Football

The Boston College Eagles will take on the Duke Blue Devils on Friday. These two ACC schools have had very different seasons so far, and they'll meet in Chestnut Hill for the first time since 2011. Duke is up to 5-3 after a resounding 45-21 win over Miami previously, while BC has dropped three straight and sit at 2-6. The Eagles did win the most recent head-to-head meeting back in 2020, but that might not hold any weight as they've really struggled lately.

Duke Blue Devils vs. Boston College Eagles Key Stats

Duke's offense is led by quarterback Riley Leonard, who has 1,693 yards through the air, but at the same time leads the Blue Devils in rushing yards. The sophomore QB has 481 yards on the ground and eight rushing TDs, and overall, Duke has excelled in the run game. Running backs Jordan Waters and Jaquez Coleman have been very effective, and tonight they'll take on an Eagles defense that has lacked consistency this year. Duke's 205.1 rushing yards per game ranks 20th in the country, and they'll try to exploit a BC defense that has struggled against other ACC schools.

BC's offense is highlighted by wideout Zay Flowers, who has tallied an ACC-leading 726 total yards and six receiving TDs so far. Outside of Flowers, though, the Eagles don't have many offensive weapons, and QB Phil Jurkovec hasn't been very reliable. The Eagles have also averaged a lousy 2.3 rushing yards per carry collectively, and they rely on big plays to move the ball downfield. Duke's defense has been vulnerable at times, but if they can contain Flowers tonight, they'll have a good chance to extend BC's losing streak to four.

Duke Blue Devils vs. Boston College Eagles Betting Prediction

Duke is much stronger on paper, but BC has played significantly better at home, and they've notched their only two wins this season on their home turf. The Blue Devils have been great against the spread, but the best bet here is to target the under. BC's last three games have gone under, and the under has hit for Duke in four of the last five games following a Blue Devils win. Look for Duke to feature their run game heavily, which should slow the game down, and BC has scored just 21 total points in their previous three games. Expect a low-scoring affair here in this ACC showdown.

Prediction: Under 46 (-110)
