Why #12 Syracuse is a good bet at +7?

Syracuse was driving towards Notre Dame’s goal when starting quarterback Eric Dungey got hurt. After Dungey left the game, the Orange had no shot to keep it close against the Irish.

Dungey’s listed as probable, which means he’s likely to play on Saturday. Even if Dungey doesn’t go, 7 points are too many to give to a Syracuse squad with a decent redshirt freshman quarterback in Tommy DeVito. DeVito can beat Boston College’s defense even though he struggled against Notre Dame’s.

In the next week, they lost to Florida State 21-22 as a -2.5 road favorite. BC battled FSU with the Clemson loss still lingering. They should be back to their usual at home dominant selves on Saturday, which means they beat Syracuse and cover the spread.

<h3><strong>Syracuse vs Boston College Final Betting Analysis:</strong></h3>
Because Dungey’s likely to play, it’s tough to not take the points. But, one thing stands out in the matchup between these two: Syracuse has trouble on defense while Boston College can lockdown on pretty much any team in the ACC not named Clemson.
<p></p>
Although that’s true, Syracuse had a shot against a much better team in the Notre Dame Irish in Week 12. They should find the going much easier on Saturday versus BC. Taking the points seems like the wise move.
