The current betting odds have Boston College listed as a 17 point underdog in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. Boston College has looked really good in their games this season with their 2-0 record overall. They won their season opener in a shocking upset over Florida State, and they had no let down last week with a dominant win over a team from the FCS. There is a new era in BC with Bill O.Brien taking over and it has shown in their first 2 games. They are going to be on the road here against another ranked team, but they are already 1-0 in road games since they beat a ranked FSU team on the road too. Meanwhile, Missouri has also looked great in their games this season with their 2-0 record overall. They are coming off a shutout win against Buffalo in their last one and they haven't given up a point in 2 games this season. Their other opponent was a team from the FCS though, so they haven't really played a good opponent in their first 2 games and they are about to get their 1st real test here. Mizzou has a talented team, but so does Boston College and Missouri is a bit banged up for this game. Boston College is going to put up a fight in this game like they did against Florida State and even if they don't pull off the upset win here, they will keep it close enough. The best way to place a bet here is on Boston College to cover the spread in this game.

“I’ll be honest with you: I don’t know the difference between FBS, FCS, NCIS, CIA. I have no idea. I just know that Duquesne is a tough football team, and we had to be ready to play them.” - Bill O’Brien after his team’s win against Duquesne in their last game. 

“I think it's easy for certain teams to overlook opponents and waste an opportunity to dominate the way we have. Two shutouts to start the season is crazy.” - Brady Cook after their win against Buffalo in their last game.
