The Maine Black Bears have started 1-1 so far this season and will take on the Boston College Eagles, who are two-in-two in as many games in the 2022-23 NCAA Basketball season. They will host the game at the Conte Forum on Monday (November 14) with the aim of making it three consecutive wins.
They are part of the Atlantic Coast Conference whereas the Bears represent the America East Conference. It would be very interesting to see if the Black Bears manage to win their first game or if the Eagles continue their winning streak.

Maine Black Bears vs. Boston College Eagles: Betting Odds
The start of the season for the Black Bears was not a fruitful one. They lost in the opening game to the Nebraska Cornhuskers (79-66). But the team came back together to win their second game against the University of Maine at Fort Kent (90-45).
Gedi Juozapaitis finished with a total score of 15 points and Kelly Tynes helped the team win, contributing 14 points. But their star player was Peter Filipovity, who came on as a sub and scored 17 points and made the game completely one-sided. They will now try and stop the Eagles from winning their third game in a row.
The Boston College Eagles have opened the season with two wins, which came against the Cornell Big Red (79-77) and the Detroit Mercy Titans (70-66). Mason Madsen played 36 minutes against the Titans and managed to score 18 points. His performance led his team to victory. Boston College won both of their games after trailing in each of them.

Maine Black Bears vs Boston College Eagles: Pick
Jaeden Zackery plays as a guard for the Eagles. He is the only player on the team to score in double digits in both opening games. He would like to continue this for the rest of the season and it will be a task for the Black Bears to hold him down. Other players need to chip in as well in order to earn a clean win this time.
Best Pick: Total Over 136.5 (-110)
Maine Black Bears vs Boston College Eagles: Prediction
Boston College has a 4-1 advantage over the Black Bears in their last five encounters. However, these five games have happened over a span of 10 years, the last being played in 2020. Four out of five games crossed the total line, so expect this game to cross the line as well. This should be a one-sided victory for the Eagles, where they don't have to come from behind to win it.
Final Prediction: Boston College Eagles -20 (-110)
