<h2>
Boston College at NC State Game Overview<br />
</h2>
<p>
Boston College made a brief appearance in this year's AP Top 25 with a 3-0 start both straight-up and against the spread, but a costly 30-13 road loss to Purdue in Week 4 as a 6.5-point favorite ended that stay. The Eagles bounced back last week with a 45-35 home win against Temple, but they could not cover as 13-point favorites. The total went OVER 54 points in that game, and it has gone OVER in three of their four games with a posted betting line.
</p>
<p>
One big question mark for Saturday's contest is the availability of running back AJ Dillon. After rushing for 161 yards and two touchdowns against the Owls last week, he left the game with an ankle injury. Anthony Brown completed 15-of-33 passing attempts for 139 yards and two touchdowns to help pace previous week's win, but the Eagles have relied heavily on a ground game that is averaging 243.4 yards per game. After Dillon’s 652 yards rushing on 106 carries, Ben Glines is second on the list with 175 yards on 33 rushing attempts.
</p>
<p>
NC State made its way into this week's AP Top 25 with a 35-21 victory against Virginia as a 6.5-point home favorite last Saturday. The Wolfpack improved to 4-0 SU with a 3-1 record ATS. The total has gone OVER in the previous two games. A Week 3 matchup against West Virginia was canceled due to Hurricane Florence, which would have provided some much better insight into just how good this team really is. If they can get past the Eagles, the Wolfpack will definitely be tested in two weeks with a road game against Clemson.
</p>
<p>
The Wolfpack relies heavily on a passing game to move the ball downfield and put points on the board. Ryan Finley has thrown for 1,313 yards and eight touchdowns as part an offense that is ranked ninth in the nation in passing yards per games (342.3). The running game is well down the list with only 124.8 rushing yards per game. Another significant strength of NC State is a defense that is holding opposing teams to 15.3 points per game.

Boston College at NC State Prediction 10/06/2018

Each of these teams has exceeded expectations with their fast starts out of the gate to add even more importance to getting a win in this matchup. There has to be some genuine concern with AJ Dillon's playing status for this game. My lean with still be towards NC State playing at home as the better all-around team.

Even if Dillon can go, he will most likely be limited to take away a big chunk of BC's running game. This sets the stage for an NC State win at home both SU and ATS.
