Key Factors Supporting This Pick:

• FCS vs FBS Matchup: Massive talent gap makes this game highly unpredictable for betting purposes
• No Away Team Data: Cannot properly analyze Fordham's capabilities or recent performance
• Large Spread Volatility: 35-point spreads are notoriously difficult to predict due to coaching decisions and game flow

Risk Factors to Consider:

• Incomplete data on Fordham
• Large spread creates high variance
• Season opener uncertainty
• Potential for garbage time scoring

Technical Analysis:

Insufficient data on FCS opponent Fordham makes it impossible to properly model this matchup. Large spreads (35+ points) historically show high variance and are difficult to predict accurately, making this a clear pass despite BC's obvious superiority.

Why This Pick Makes Sense:

This is a classic trap game for bettors even though Boston College should dominate Fordham easily. When spreads get this large (around 35 points), predicting the exact margin becomes nearly impossible because so many factors come into play like when coaches pull starters, weather conditions, and how motivated each team stays throughout the game. Boston College is clearly the much better team, but covering 35 points requires them to essentially score on nearly every possession while keeping Fordham completely shut down. We simply don't have enough information about how good or bad Fordham really is this season to make an educated guess about whether they can keep it closer than expected. The smart move here is to enjoy watching the game without having money on such an unpredictable spread.
