Boston College Eagles vs. Miami Hurricanes Prediction

I’m on Boston College in this one. I think Miami’s just in need of getting in and out with a win here with big games against SMU and Louisville on deck and Boston College has been decent at finding ways to sneak in the backdoor catching these big numbers. I’ll take my chances with the Eagles and the points in this one.
