The Nebraska Cornhuskers square off against the Boston College Eagles in today's Pinstripe Bowl as the former looks to win its first bowl game since 2015.

Our Boston College vs. Nebraska prediction analyzes the best plays in a bowl game plagued with opt-outs due to the transfer portal. The Cornhuskers are 3.5-point favorites at the best sports betting sites. Kickoff from New York City is slated for noon ET (ABC) at Yankee Stadium.

Despite the vast roster turnover, the game's biggest star, Nebraska quarterback Dylan Raiola, will suit up for the Cornhuskers. Will Raiola's presence be enough to lead Nebraska to victory? We attempt to answer that as a part of our college bowl game predictions.

Our college football bowl game opt-out tracker has you covered with the latest opt-out news and the impact on the college bowl game odds.

Boston College vs. Nebraska ATS prediction

Boston College to cover the spread: +3.5 ⭐⭐⭐

Best odds: -104 via FanDuel | Implied probability: 50.98%

Many will see Castellanos's absence as enough reason to bet against the Eagles. However, Castellanos hasn’t played since Nov. 9, allowing James to play three games to end the season.

He finished 2-1 with more than 230 yards in two of his three games, four touchdowns, and just one interception.

The Cornhuskers will have their starting quarterback, but his presence hasn’t been enough to prevent them from losing five of their last six. Raiola has thrown just three touchdowns and seven interceptions during that stretch.

Raiola should have a solid game on Saturday against a pass defense allowing 262.5 passing yards per game. However, the transfer portal has decimated the Cornhuskers.

Defensively, 16 players will miss Saturday’s game, which will be a massive problem against James and the rest of an Eagles offense averaging 26.8 points per game.

Currently, three of the four best sportsbooks offering this spread have it set at four points. FanDuel is offering the smallest spread, but the price of -104 for the Eagles to cover is the best. I'll take the better price because this spread is still on the right side of the key number.

Dylan Raiola Over 198.5 passing yards ⭐⭐⭐⭐

Best odds: -114 via bet365 | Implied probability: 53.27%

Raiola started the season passing for at least 200 yards in four of his first five games. Since then, he’s topped 200 yards just twice in seven.

However, he has played some of the best defenses in the country during that span, and he only went under 190 yards in three of those seven contests.

While the offense will be missing some key players, Raiola still has Jahmal Banks, his leading receiver. Banks finished the year with 508 yards. And while the Eagles will have most of their defense intact, five players in the secondary will miss this game.

Because they were already allowing over 260 yards through the air per game, those losses could be all Raiola needs to clear 200 yards. Only two of our best college football betting sites offer this prop right now, and both have the same total, but bet365 is offering the better price.

• Nebraska: -3.5 (-110 via BetMGM)

Boston College vs. Nebraska odds movement

This line opened at BetMGM on Dec. 8 with a line of Nebraska -3.5. The sportsbook offered the line at standard juice (-110) and bettors took advantage, quickly fading the Cornhuskers. As a result, the spread fell to Nebraska -2.5 for a few days in the middle of the month.

As kickoff approached, the public began betting the other way, which saw the line reach -4 for the first time, but that lasted just 12 hours. All of this movement for the spread to settle where it began with the Cornhuskers as 3.5-point favorites.
