Boston College Basketball Odds

Boston College isn’t a traditional basketball power, but they’ve had some bet-worthy moments over the years.

Although current sports betting legislation in Massachusetts doesn’t allow for betting on in-state teams, you can bet on Boston College if they’re playing in a national tournament like March Madness.

However, bettors in Massachusetts can still travel to a neighboring state like New York or Connecticut to place regular-season bets on Boston College. Furthermore, bettors in Massachusetts are free to bet on out-of-state college teams.

Popular NCAAB bets for Eagles games

Here’s an example of a standard line you might see when betting on Boston College basketball:

Boston College	+7.5 (-110)	+210	Over 148.5 (-110)
Duke	-7.5 (-110)	-275	Under 148.5 (-110)

In this example, Boston College is the underdog, meaning it is getting points on the spread, as indicated by the plus sign. This essentially means the Eagles are getting a 7.5-point head start on Duke to account for the perceived disparity in quality between the teams. If you bet on Boston College (+7.5), you are betting on the point spread, and your bet wins if BC either wins the game outright or if it loses by a margin of seven points or fewer.

You can also bet on Boston College to win the game outright by betting on the moneyline at increased odds. In the above example, a $100 moneyline bet on Boston College to win (+210) would return $210 in profit if successful.

A final standard game bet is on the point total. The line for this game is at 148.5, meaning if you bet the Over, Duke and Boston College would need to combine for a minimum of 149 points for your bet to cash. On the other hand, if you bet the Under, the teams need to combine for 148 points or fewer.

Eagles Basketball props and live betting

One increasingly popular method of online sports betting is live betting. Unlike pregame wagers, which are generally more rigid, live sports odds are in a frequent state of flux after tipoff. Odds adjust up to the second to account for what is happening on the court.

Live betting may give you a chance to bet on your team at better odds than you might get with traditional pregame lines. For example, if Boston College’s spread was at -3.5 before tipoff against Virginia Tech, but it trailed 40-35 at halftime, you could bet on the Eagles as a live underdog to come back and win the game. You can also place live bets on adjusted point spreads/point totals.

As you can place live bets at any point during a game, you will want to have a sports betting app downloaded on your phone to quickly take advantage of favorable live lines and lock in your bets before they change. Prop bets are also increasingly popular. These are bets on individual player performances or specific game events not necessarily tied to the overall outcome. Here are some examples of popular props:

• First team to score 15 points.
• Game to go to overtime (Y/N).
• Whether there will be a buzzer-beater (Y/N).
• First basket (pick a player).
• Player X to score 10.5 points (O/U).
• Player X to pull in 5.5 rebounds (O/U).

Note that some states have restrictions on college player prop bets due to concerns about tampering/bribes having more influence than over pro athletes.

BC in the ACC Tourney and March Madness

Boston College can qualify for the NCAA Tournament field of 64 in two ways. A strong regular-season record, including wins over top-ranked teams, would earn BC an at-large bid. Regardless of its regular-season performance, BC could also qualify for March Madness by winning the ACC Tournament, which earns an automatic qualification.
