I'm on Providence -3.5 vs Boston College for these reasons:

- Providence has only lost to Villanova, Uconn, Oklahoma, and Seton Hall @ home this season. What do these teams have in common that are better than Boston College..... defense. Against quality road opponents, they've allowed 80 plus to each.

- Providence has shown grit vs better quality opponents, and are coming out of a conference with much stiffer competition. They've beaten tournament team Creighton twice this season, and contended well vs Marquette and Uconn in the last meetings against the two.

- Providence are going to dominate the boards, so a blowout is in the cards if they can successfully hit 8 to 10 of their average attempted 3s, vs a Boston College team that allows 34% shooting from deep which is more allowed than Providence averages made per game.

- Boston College are 0-3 ATS as road underdogs. (Vs FSU, UVA and NCState)

Official Play: Providence -3.5

Side Bet: Over 138
