Syracuse vs Boston College 11/24/18 NCAA Football Odds, Preview and Prediction

The Syracuse Orange and the Boston College Eagles renew their ACC rivalry at the Alumni Stadium on Saturday 11/24/18.

After suffering respective losses last week, the Orange and Eagles saw their stocks plummet in the rankings. After losing to the Notre Dame Fighting Irish, the Orange have dropped from #12 to #19 in the rankings. On the other hand, the Boston College Eagles aren’t even ranked anymore following their 21-22 loss to Florida State.

Although both these teams suffered in the rankings, Syracuse might have taken more damage last week after losing starting quarterback Eric Dungey to an “upper body injury” during the first quarter of their game against Notre Dame. Dungey was seen reaching or his lower right back before dropping to the ground in between plays. As a result, the Orange may be without their starter on Saturday against Boston College.

A couple of weeks ago, the Boston College Eagles lived up to their name as they were soaring. But after a 7-27 defeat at the hands of Clemson and a 21-22 loss to Florida State, they have gone from #12 in the rankings to being out of the Top 25 after and with that, their hopes of playing a bowl game on New Year were dashed. The defeat to Clemson was but expected but their tough losses to NC State and Florida State may leave a hangover on the Eagles and that’s a cause of concern in this game.

Syracuse is 4-1 SU in their last 5 games played and 2-10 SU in their last 12 games on the road. Boston College is 12-6 SU in their last 18 games played and 5-1 SU in their last 6 games played at home. Head to head, Syracuse has is 6-4 SU in the last 10 games played between these teams.

If Dungey can’t play then that will be a big blow to the Orange’s chances. However, with one week of preparation to work DeVito into their offense, I think Syracuse will be just fine despite his performance against the Irish.

The Orange are 7-4 ATS in 11 games played this season and are 8-3 ATS in their last 11 games played on the road. The Eagles are 15-5-1 ATS in their last 21 games played and are 7-2-1 ATS in their last 10 home games. Head to head, Syracuse is 6-4 ATS in their last 10 meetings

The total has gone over in 4 out of the last 6 games played by the Orange but the under is 4-2 in Syracuse’s last six road games. The total has gone under in 5 out of the last 6 games played by Boston College and the under is also 5-1 in the last six games between Syracuse and Boston College.
