2013 Boston College Football Odds: Prediction ... Pain

The Golden Nugget sports book in Vegas released more than 200 early college football betting lines on Friday, including a trio of Boston College games. BC is a significant dog in all three contests, which you would suspect given the opponents and coming off a 2-10 campaign.

Boston College (+21.5) at USC
Florida State at Boston College (+17)
Boston College (+22) at Clemson

Yikes.

For what it's worth, the early line on the BC-FSU game is down a few points from last year's BC +29 line. So that's a thing. The Clemson line, however, has moved significantly year over year from last year's BC +7. The Eagles failed to cover the spread in eight of 11 I-A games last year, including each of the first six games (LOL Maryland).

You can view all the early betting lines here.

Also interesting to keep tabs on Pittsburgh and Syracuse to see where BC stands in the eyes of Vegas relative to the ACC's newcomers.

For Syracuse ...

Northwestern at Syracuse (+13)
Syracuse (+16) at Florida State
Syracuse (+6.5) vs. Penn State in the Meadowlands

For Pittsburgh ...

Florida State at Pittsburgh (+13)
Pittsburgh (+13.5) at Virginia Tech
Notre Dame at Pittsburgh (+10.5)
Miami at Pittsburgh (+7)

No early line out yet for #BCvsWakeBingo #TheRivalry, though Wake Forest is already a 21-point dog at Clemson and an 18-point home dog vs. Florida State.
