No betting line has been posted for this game yet. Sportsbooks usually post college basketball lines the day before; a few small-conference games get one only on game day or not at all. Books also take a line down for a while when a key player's status is unclear. We check ESPN and The Odds API several times a day and add the line as soon as there is one.

Not a promise: a 64% pick still loses about 4 times in 10.

Advantages Why Boston College can win

  1. Home court: Boston College play at home, worth about 3 points in college basketball, more than in the NBA.
  2. Strength of schedule: Boston College 107th (+0.4), Wagner 321st (-0.8) of 365.
  3. Ball security (turnovers per 100 possessions): Boston College 94th (15.4), Wagner 300th (18.5) of 365.
  4. Strength: Boston College rank 62nd of 365 in shooting allowed (opponent eFG%) (48.9%).
  5. Team matchup: no unit-against-unit mismatch clearly favors Boston College. The nearest thing to one: their ball pressure (299th of 365) meets the Wagner ball security (300th), close to even, so this is more about execution than one area to exploit.
  6. Star matchup: no key position clearly favors Boston College. The closest: at forward, Boden Kapke (Boston College: 10.6 pts, 5.7 reb, 0.7 ast, Game Score 7.5) is about even with Sam Smith (Wagner: 9.0 pts, 5.1 reb, 0.6 ast, Game Score 7.4).
  7. Simulation: Boston College win 3,190 of 5,000 simulated games.

Disadvantages Why Boston College may not

  1. Three-point shooting: Wagner 36th (36.6%), Boston College 347th (29.4%) of 365.
  2. Recent scoring margins: worth about 1.6 points to Wagner in our ratings.
  3. Offensive rebounding (share of misses): Wagner 96th (32.8%), Boston College 254th (28.3%) of 365.
  4. Range of outcomes: in the worst 10% of simulations Boston College lose by 11 or more.
  5. Team matchup: Wagner have no clear unit-against-unit edge, so their path runs through a hot shooting night or a cold one from the favorite.
  6. Star matchup: the key positions lean Boston College on paper, but Nick Jones (14.9 pts, 3.6 reb, 2.5 ast, Game Score 9.7) is the kind of player who can swing one game.
  7. Upset odds: Wagner win 1,810 of 5,000 simulations (36%). A 64% pick still loses about 4 times in 10.
