The Friars welcome Boston College to the Dunkin’ Donuts Center and will look to avenge last season’s loss at the Conte Forum. Providence was a 2.5 point favorite last season and lost the game by 9 on the road. The line is a bit larger this year and the Eagles are trying to overcome a possible E. Coli virus outbreak among 10 team members from some bad burritos at Chipotle. Providence has opened as a 15.5 point favorite over Boston College. The Friars are 5-3 ATS this season. Boston College is 1-4 ATS this season.

UPDATE 5:05pm, 12/9/15: The line has been taken off the board pretty much everywhere, likely due to the uncertainty about who will be able to play for BC after the norovirus outbreak and Eli Carter’s sprained ankle.

UPDATE 1:30pm, 12/8/15: The line has moved to Providence +16.

Stay tuned for updates as the line moves.
