NCAAF futures, Boston College win totals: Will Eagles fly high for Coach Hafley?

This will be head coach Jeff Hafley's fourth season at Boston College, and he needs to show improvement. After back to back six-win campaigns, the Eagles won only three games a season ago. If they do not improve on that this season they might start looking at alternatives. Being mediocre was not acceptable for the previous regime, even though this is a program that only had occasional flashes of real success. 

The question with Boston College is how do they win? In the past, they used to be super physical and run a pro-style offense with success. Once a cycle they would have some NFL-bound offensive linemen and really punish people. Under Hafley, the defense was expected to improve a lot and that hasn't happened. They are always fighting to find enough talent to compete with even the middle of the ACC. They used to shock teams at the top.  

2023 Boston College Eagles Win Total

Over 5.5 -125 / Under 5.5 +100

The Eagles are one of the least talked about teams in the Power 5. Ever since they joined the ACC they have been on a steady downward decline. They just never seemed to get the coach right after Tom O'Brien left for the NFL. This line did catch my eye a little because of how it is shaded to the over. Boston College would need to double their win total from a season ago to get there. That is possible when you only win three games but I am not sure what the narrative is behind it, other than the schedule.
