Boston College Opens as 5.5 point Favorite Over Virginia

Anyone else a little surprised BC is only getting 5.5 points considering Virginia just got drilled by Miami and BC has had two weeks to prepare? I know BC has struggled on the road but Virginia is 0-2 in ACC home games this season with an 11 point loss to Duke and a 25 point loss to Georgia Tech.

The other early ACC lines: Clemson (-4.5) at NC State, Florida State (+6) at Wake Forest, Georgia Tech (-8.5) at Duke, Virginia Tech (-16) at Maryland, Miami (-5.5) at North Carolina.

not surprised

I’m not surprised vegas is only giving us 5.5 pts. We have yet to win on the road, and we aren’t miami. I think we are an unknown and i’m sure the line will move in our favor, but gambler beware.

What do you guys think if shinskie costs us this game, still high on him, or Rettig for Heisman campaign starts?

Skinskie won't cost us this game.

Also, BC has never played in Charlottesville. A bit of the unknown, mystery factor keeping the line down?

I'm not surprised either

BC has been terrible on the road

But Raj, you are delusional to think that it will be Shinskie’s fault if we lose and you should get used to the idea that he will be the starter for three more seasons after this one.
