Miami Hurricanes vs. Boston College Eagles Prediction

I’m on Boston College and the points. I get the case to be made for Miami here, but I have to wonder what Miami’s mindset is with a road game against BC in February with a home game against North Carolina on deck, and I do give Boston College credit for being feisty in a lot of their recent games, so give me the Eagles and the points in this one.

Chris Ruffolo's Pick: Boston College +7.5
