Boston College vs Syracuse: Final Prediction

Updated: Sep 1, 2022

Boston College (4-3) at Syracuse (4-4) this Saturday. Kickoff will be at 3:30PM ET from the Carrier Dome (Syracuse, NY) and will be regionally televised on NESN in the Boston area.

This is a must win for BC. No extended preview for this game.

Most important thing to watch for is obviously who will start at quarterback for Boston College.

Who fans want: Emmett Morehead

Who we think will start: Dennis Grosel

Other options: Daelen Menard or Matthew Rueve

Current Line: BC +6.5 (O/U 51.0)

Chance Of Winning: 42.8%

According to ESPN's Football Power Index BC has a 42.8% chance of winning this game. The spread for this game is currently 6.5 points in favor of Syracuse, with the over/under around 51. With BC on the road, the one touchdown spread seems just about right.

Does BC Cover The Spread?

Not sure about this game. Would stay away from this game completely.

Stay away from the over/under for this game too. For BC to win this game they will have to put up huge numbers in the running game.

Final Score: 28-21 (BC WINS)

BC could win by a touchdown, BC could lose by a touchdown... or more.

Not a confident pick especially since we don't even know who is the starting quarterback.

The only way for BC to win this game is if they can run the ball consistently and control the time of possession throughout the game. If BC's defense is on the field for most of the game similar too last week then it will be another bad loss for the Eagles.
