The Boston College Eagles will host the Northern Illinois Huskies to start their respective 2023 campaigns. Kickoff is scheduled at 12:00 p.m. ET on September 2nd at Alumni Stadium.
Here's some stats to keep in mind while watching: Boston College were 109th in the nation in throwing interceptions last year, finishing the 2022 season with 14. Northern Illinois tied their effort: they were also ranked 109th and finished the season with 14.
Looking forward to Saturday, Boston College shouldn't be too worried about this matchup, as the experts have them favored by eight points. They finished last season with a mediocre 4-8 record against the spread, so bettors beware.
While Boston College might be expected to win, their sub-par 0-2 record as the favorite last season means this is still anyone's game. While their fans probably aren't happy about it, betting on the team to lose was the smart play last year, and bettors who put $100 on that outcome every game finished the season up $1,354.16. Sadly, Northern Illinois will open their season as the underdog, and the team was 1-3 as such last year.
