Boston College hasn’t been a traditional football power but has had its moments over the years. Who could forget Doug Flutie‘s famous 1984 Hail Mary pass dubbed the “Miracle in Miami?”

Here’s all the info about Boston College football betting in the state (including limitations) and about college football betting sites.

Today’s Boston College football odds: spreads, moneylines, totals

The good news is online sports betting in Massachusetts is live. Unfortunately for those hoping to back the Eagles, the state prohibits betting on in-state teams like BC unless in the College Football Playoff. That said, look below for all other out-of-state NCAA football lines available for betting.

Best Boston College football betting sites & apps

Here’s a look at some of the industry-leading sportsbooks and what they offer when it comes to college football betting:

FanDuel app

The FanDuel MA Sportsbook app is an excellent sportsbook with one of the widest ranges of betting options. When it comes to college football betting odds, it offers:

  • ACC football odds for individual game lines and futures
  • Game and player prop bets
  • Live betting with flexible parlays
  • Futures on NCAAF Champion and Heisman Trophy winner

DraftKings app

The Massachusetts-based DraftKings is another top-tier sportsbook. DraftKings Sportsbook MA offers many ways to bet on Boston College Eagles football, including:

  • College football game lines for all ACC action
  • A large array of prop bets, including more obscure options
  • Futures for teams and individual awards
  • A Dynasty Rewards program awarding points redeemable for different prizes

BetMGM app

Ranking among the top Boston College betting sites with some excellent options, BetMGM Massachusetts Sportsbook betting options include:

  • Boosted odds on specific game props/parlays
  • Constantly updated live betting odds on every bowl game
  • Easy parlay options that automatically fill out your bet slip, creating a lottery-style option for parlays

WynnBET app

WynnBET Massachusetts Sportsbook offers a nearly complete slate of competitive college football game lines, futures, and props in Massachusetts. Lines for games involving Boston College will be missing, though, unless they make the College Football Playoff.

Pregame odds available at WynnBET for just about every other college football game include:

  • Spreads, Totals, Moneylines and Alternatives
  • Scoring and Stat-Based Game and Player Props
  • Separate Half/Quarter Markets

Live NCAAF betting markets are available under WynnBET’s  “Live” tab and should include all the standard pregame markets at adjusted odds plus more live props.

Expect a few NCAAF promos during the upcoming season. WynnBET has offered $100 in Bonus Bets to anyone making a $20 bet on a college football game.

Caesars app

The Caesars Massachusetts app should become the go-to sportsbook for college football lines because its point spreads can be half a point to two and a half points better than the competition.

Caesars won’t have lines for any Boston College Eagles games unless they make the College Football Playoff. You can bet on other out-of-state college football teams in the following NCAAF betting markets posted at Caesars:

  • Spreads, Totals, Moneylines and Alternatives
  • Game and Player Props
  • Half/Quarter Markets
  • Same Game Parlays
  • Winning Margin
  • Double Result

In other states, Caesars Sportsbook has run several Underdogs Cover Parlay Boosts offering bigger than normal odds on certain all-underdog parlays.

Consensus

DraftKings and FanDuel are superior options if you are looking for a broader range of prop betting options. DraftKings, in particular, stands out with one of the most extensive lists in the industry. FanDuel’s same game parlays (SGPs) also add extra excitement to NCAA action with a lot of flexibility in constructing bets.

How to bet on Boston College football in Massachusetts

When it comes to sizing up how to bet on Boston College NCAAF odds, there are three basic betting options that you will see most prominently displayed.

The odds line for a bet on BC football might look something like this:

Boston College +3.5 (-110) +150 Over 55.5 (-110)
Wake Forest -3.5 (-110) -175 Under 55.5 (-110)

The first number (on the far left) is the point spread indicated by the +/- 3.5. In this example, Boston College is the underdog, meaning they are “getting points.” This essentially means they are getting a 3.5-point head start from a gambling standpoint. If you bet the Boston College spread at +3.5 and they win the game outright or lose by three points or fewer, your bet cashes.

The next odds line is the moneyline (+150, -175). If you choose to place a moneyline bet, your team must win the game outright. Because you are no longer getting points, a moneyline bet on an underdog gives you more favorable odds. In this example, a $100 moneyline bet on Boston College to win would net $150 in profits. A $175 bet on the moneyline favorite would return $100 if Wake Forest were to win the game.

The line on the far right (O/U 55.5) is the point total. This is a wager on the total number of points both teams will combine to score during the game. In the above example, if you bet on the over (55.5), your wager is a winner if Boston College and Wake Forest combine for at least 56 points (the opposite is true if you bet the under).

Live betting and prop bets for Boston College football

In addition to pre-game betting lines, you can also make wagers after a game has already started. This is referred to as “live betting.”

You can access live betting options by clicking on a game matchup and scrolling through a list of constantly updated options. Because in game sports betting accounts for real-time events on the field, the live betting odds change by the second. For this reason, you will want to download a sportsbook app on your phone to capitalize on a favorable line quickly before it goes off the board or gets adjusted.

Besides standard game lines, you can also access several prop betting options at Boston College football betting sites before/during a game. These are bets on events or individual player milestones you think will happen during the game. Prop bets are not tied to the overall outcome of the game.

Some examples of popular prop bets include:

  • 300 passing yards by Player ‘X’ (O/U)
  • Player ‘X’ to score a touchdown (anytime)
  • Player to score the first touchdown
  • Team to score first
  • Number of turnovers

It is worth noting that several states have restrictions on player props for in-state teams. The reason for this is that there is concern unpaid college athletes may be more prone to outside influence/tampering than professional athletes.

What conference does Boston College play in?
