Louisville and Boston College are both coming off close contests.

The Eagles' 19 unanswered points weren't enough to complete a come-from-behind win over a Florida State team ranked among the top five in the country. Similarly, U of L halted Indiana's comeback bid despite not scoring in the second half.

The Cardinals, looking for their second ACC win of the season, enter Saturday's game against Boston College as a 14-point favorite.
