At the onset of the season, there was cautious optimism on Chestnut Hill. Second-year head coach Jeff Haffley made quite an impression at Boston College as a rookie. And after a 4-0 start, Eagles fans were dreaming big. A thrilling 41-34 overtime home win over the SEC’s Missouri enhanced enthusiasm. However, that proved to be the high point of the 2021 campaign. BC has been a disappointment since that day. Now the Eagles are mired in a slump. The bloom is off the rose. Many College Football betting community members believe that gravity has set in.
