Friday CFB ATS Rout
(NCAAF) Cardinals (LOU) vs. Eagles (BC),
Point Spread: 7.50 | -110.00 Eagles (BC) (Home)
Result: Win
#116 ASA PLAY ON Boston College +7.5 over Louisville, Friday at 7:30 PM ET - The situational spot heavily favors BC here. They are at home after getting rolled @ Virginia Tech last Friday night. So they have had a full week to prepare. Their game vs Virginia Tech was a 28-21 score with less than 12 minutes remaining in the game and Tech sealed it with 2 TD’s in the 4th. It was a terrible performance by a BC defense that was allowing 20.6 PPG (31st nationally) entering the game. We expect them to bounce back in a big way at home on Friday night. The Eagles were +8 in that game @ Virginia Tech and now one week later they are +7 (as of this writing on Tuesday) at home vs Louisville team that power rates almost the exact same as the Hokies. Line value on Boston College. The Cards put in a huge effort last week at home in their most important game of the season vs Miami. Now they must travel on a short week after losing that game 52-45. Louisville was outgained by 1.6 YPP in that loss but benefited from a 100 yard kickoff return to keep it closer than it should have been. The defense was on the field a lot (35 minutes) and gave up nearly 8.0 YPP. The Cardinals have lost 3 of their last 4 games and their wins this season came vs Virginia (by 4 points), Georgia Tech (by 12 points – Louisville was outgained but had 2 defensive TD’s), Jacksonville State, and Austin Peay. Not overly impressive. BC is undefeated at home this season and 14-7-1 ATS in the home dog role since early in the 2017 season. Take the points.
