Boston College vs. Miami (FL) predictions
BC Interruption (SBNation site): Miami will win and cover the spread
Curran Schestag writes, "I think Miami’s strengths (passing game, rush defense and creating turnovers) line up with what BC is struggling with at the moment. With most students home for Thanksgiving break, my expectations are not high."
South Florida Sun Sentinel: All three contributors predict Hurricanes victory
Keven Lerner writes, "Miami 27, Boston College 20... [Hurricanes quarterback Tyler] Van Dyke should have a big day against Boston College, especially with the emergence of tailback Mark Fletcher, Jr. and wideout Xavier Restrepo. Miami, however, will have to cut down on penalties, which cost them in the loss to Louisville. Boston College has lost two straight following a five-game winning streak."
Pickswise: Take the points for Boston College
Chad Hartsock writes, "Miami has vastly more talent, and there is little question about that. But they play poorly on the road, and once again, you cannot trust this coaching staff or the undisciplined nature of this team. They look to me like they are unraveling. Boston College will be playing on senior night, and I really like that we are catching more than a touchdown with the home team. The Eagles have far more to play for, and if Miami continues to unravel, BC might well win this game outright. I’ll take the points here."
College Football News: Miami 31, Boston College 23
Pete Fiutak writes, "North Carolina and Louisville. Those are the only two teams able to get past 155 rushing yards on the ACC’s best run defense. Yes, it’ll be cold, and yes, Miami will be rocky, but it’ll also warm up against this Boston College offense and keep the score low. It won’t be the most dominant of performances, and the Hurricanes have won just one game on the road - at Temple - but the defense will hold up throughout."
ESPN: The Hurricanes are heavy favorites on the road
ESPN Analytics give Miami a 78.9% chance to win on the road, while Boston College is left with a 21.1% chance to take the win as home underdogs.
