Boston College at Notre Dame Betting Tips – Fighting Irish To Miss Out On College Football Cover
Boston College are tipped to cover the spread as double-digit underdogs when they visit Notre Dame. Although Notre Dame are the stronger team and lead the all-time series 18-9, they have failed to cover the spread in five of their last seven games, including three of their last four as double-digit favourites. Boston College, meanwhile, have covered in both of their games as double-digit underdogs this season. Despite recent losses, the Eagles' performance in this market makes them the recommended selection with the points.

Boston College 4-5 Following Back-To-Back Losses
Boston College head to South Ben having dropped back-to-back games to fall to 4-5.
The Eagles dropped their season opener in Cincinnati, 35-14, but rebounded with back-to-back non-conference wins, beating Rutgers 28-21 and Maine 22-16.
They failed to keep that run going when they kicked off their ACC schedule though, losing 21-14 to Virginia Tech and 25-16 at SMU.
Boston College finally got off the mark with a 27-21 win over Pitt, and followed that up a week later as they downed Georgia Tech on the road, winning 49-27.
The Eagles have not won since though, losing 47-2 at Duke and falling 31-24 at home to Florida State.
Notre Dame 8-1 After Big Miami Win
Notre Dame come into this matchup on the back of their biggest win of the season, which took their record to 8-1.
The Fighting Irish opened with a 41-13 blowout of Wisconsin at Lambeau Field, and backed that up with a 52-0 shutout of Rice.
From there they beat Michigan State 27-10 at home, before going out on the road to down Purdue, 49-10, and North Carolina, 37-26.
Notre Dame returned home after that to crush Stanford, 58-7, only to then suffer a 28-24 defeat when they paid a visit to BYU.
The Fighting Irish rebounded immediately though, beating Navy 35-13, and they followed that up last Saturday as they beat bitter rivals Miami, 31-24.
Verdict
Notre Dame are the better team and we fully expect them to follow up last weekend’s huge win over the Hurricanes.
However, the Fighting Irish have not be a reliable spread bet and the Eagles have covered in both of their games as a double digit underdog, so give us the visitors and the free points.
