Staff Prediction

As a neutral site game between two evenly matched teams by record, the line surprises me a little bit. Villanova has turned it around recently winning their last two, ending a four game losing streak. Boston College has come into this game dropping their past 3 games, including an upset loss in overtime to New Hampshire. I expect the Golden Eagles to come out looking to play better and at least cover the 9 points.
