Western Kentucky at Boston College Best Bet – 9/28/2024

The Western Kentucky Hilltoppers will take on the Boston College Eagles on September 28, 2024, with the Hilltoppers being 13 point underdogs according to DraftKings Sportsbook. Early betting action shows 39% of spread bets on the Hilltoppers and 61% on the Eagles. The total opened at 55 points, with 47% of bets on the under and 53% on the over. With both teams entering this Western Kentucky vs Boston College matchup at 3-1, both teams will look to impress against a worthy opponent.

Western Kentucky Faces Another Tough Road Test

The Western Kentucky Hilltoppers have won three of their first four games to start the season. Their only loss of the year is one that the Hilltoppers can't be faulted for, as they were blown out on the road by the Alabama Crimson Tide. Here, Western Kentucky faces its toughest road test since that Alabama game, as they take on a Boston College team that has looked impressive for the most part this season. Western Kentucky's defense has been impressive to start the year, as they have allowed 21 or fewer points in all three of their games since their loss to the Crimson Tide. If that happens again in this game, the Hilltoppers could move to 4-1 on the year.

Can Boston College Remain Unbeaten At Home?

Boston College is also 3-1, with their lone loss coming on the road against a team ranked ahead of them. The Eagles lost by six points to a top-10 Missouri team, but haven't been beaten by anyone else. Defense has been the driving force behind the strong start for Bill O'Brien's team this year, as they have allowed under 20 points in three of their four games on the season. Another defensive gem for the Eagles could send them back into ACC play with a 4-1 overall record and possibly a top-25 ranking.

Western Kentucky vs Boston College Best Bet

Both teams in this Western Kentucky vs Boston College matchup have been playing exceptionally well heading into this game. But we think that Boston College is the more likely of the two to continue doing so. The Eagles should be able to cover the spread in this game at home before they go on a two-game road trip to face each of the Virginia-based teams in the ACC to start their month of October.
