Looks like a good spot to pull the trigger on the underdog tonight and while we’ll stop short in calling for the outright upset, we do definitely believe this is a few too many points to be giving up in this circumstance. BC comes in off a hard-fought 84-76 home loss to Notre Dame, while Florida State enters off a deflating 80-66 setback to Pittsburgh. It was a bit of a bitter pill to swallow for the Eagles last time out as they let a ten-point halftime lead slip away. So far BC averages 72.6 PPG and allows the exact same amount. FSU averages 83.6 PPG and allows 71.4. However the Seminoles looked extremely average in the setback to the Panthers, allowing Pittsburgh to hit 55 percent from the floor. Note that BC is 7-2 ATS in its last nine following an ATS victory, while FSU is just 1-3 ATS this year off a loss against a conference rival. The Eagles last three road losses have come by 11 points or fewer and they’ve scored 76 points or more if five of their last eight. We’ll recommend a second look at BOSTON COLLEGE on Monday night.
