South Carolina vs Boston College Prediction

Give me Boston College here. The Eagles are 3-1 at home this season compared to South Carolina who lost their road games. I am not really sold on the South Carolina defense and that is going to be the difference here. Boston College is going to have no issue running up the score and that will be the difference as Bostton College is going to get the job done. Back Boston College against the spread.
