SMU Mustangs vs. Boston College Eagles Prediction

I’m on the Mustangs here. I just think that Boston College is mailing in their season as there’s really nothign left for this Eagles team to fight for at this point. SMU is still fighting for their share of the ACC title and while I don’t think this is the same SMU team that made it to the Playoffs last year, I think they’re still good enough to get a sizeable win and cover here.

Chris Ruffolo's Pick: SMU -10.5
