MACtion is sweet, but we've got Power 5 teams in action again on Friday.
Luckily, our model has thoughts on both games, and there might even be an unexpectedly close game in the Pac-12 on deck.

Duke Blue Devils at Boston College Eagles
Duke -9.5 (-115) - 2 Stars
Over 47.5 (-110) - 4 Stars
This should be a fun one in Chestnut Hill. Duke is a sizable road favorite over Boston College, but both of these offenses should move the ball a bit.
The Blue Devils not only are one win from a bowl berth (5-3 record), but they've also competed well in one-score losses to Georgia Tech, North Carolina, and Kansas. They're a solid team led by dual-threat signal-caller Riley Leonard, who leads the team in passing and rushing.
B.C. has a lot of the right pieces to be a good offense, but they're 113th in ESPN's SP+ offensive rankings. Senior quarterback Phil Jurkovec has eight picks -- many in big spots. However, the Eagles' duo of Pat Garwo III at tailback and Zay Flowers outside should be able to make a few plays against Duke's 75th-ranked defense.
Our model does expect Leonard and Duke to cover 59.3% of the time here (against 52.9% implied odds). Plus, our model expects this one to exceed the total 71.2% of the time compared to 52.5% implied odds. Both are quality wagers.
Oregon State Beavers at Washington Huskies
Oregon State +4.5 (-110) - 2 Stars
Over 54.5 (-110) - 2 Stars
The Washington Huskies are a perfect 5-0 at home this season, and they've yet to score fewer than 40 points at Husky Stadium. Our model isn't sure it holds.
First of all, U-Dub hasn't faced a defense at home that's a top-85 school in yards per play allowed. Oregon State, through a difficult schedule, is 60th. They're actually 38th in ESPN's SP+ defensive rankings, too. This is a totally different test.
Plus, the Beavers can keep up on their side of the ball. They're ESPN's 41st-ranked offense in SP+, and quarterback Chance Nolan has put forth a competitive 8.5 yards per attempt. He'll have a pretty good chance against a Huskies defense that's allowed the 12th-most passing yards per attempt (8.7) in FBS.
Our model believes the Beavs will cover 58.5% of the time, but the over is also a fair wager. With Nolan and Michael Penix Jr. projected to trade big plays all night, the model believes this game will see at least 55 total points scored a sizable 59.2% of the time.
