Boston College vs Duke preview
The Market and Your Number
Post the number you think is right, and let a real counterparty trade against you with no house vig eating into either side.
The Form
Duke is averaging 31.7 points per game and allowing just 16.0, the best scoring differential of either team here. Their last two outings are losses, a 25-28 road defeat at Georgia Tech and a 20-24 home loss to North Carolina, so the Blue Devils arrive with something to prove. Boston College is at 3-3 on the year, scoring 20.3 per game and giving up 23.0, coming off a 27-21 home win over Pittsburgh that snapped a two-game losing streak.
Recent Meetings
In the two meetings on record from the last eight seasons, each team has won once. Duke took a 38-31 decision at Boston College in November 2022, and Boston College won 26-6 at Wallace Wade Stadium in September 2020. This game returns to Durham, where Duke scored six in that 2020 meeting, so the home side will be looking to reassert themselves on their own field.
How the Game Sets Up
Duke's scoring offense is the clear edge on paper, and the Blue Devils will want to snap their two-game skid before the season slips further. Boston College is playing competitive football at 3-3 but has not shown the firepower to keep pace with a team capable of putting up 62 points in a game. The best move is to get there early, anchor the line you believe in, and let the peer-to-peer market come to you.
How to play it
Duke is a substantial market favorite at home, and their scoring numbers support the price. Boston College is 1-2 away from home this season and has been outscored on the road.
