Saturday NCAA

Boston College -5.5 vs. Central Michigan

ESPN 3:30 EST

I like the Eagles in this game at home who recently in their last home game destroyed NC State last week hanging 52 points on them.  It is apparent the early season woes of the Eagles on offense are gone.  Central Michigan is a public darling in the betting world and have been a solid cover team, mainly because of QB LeFevour, who is an outright stud.  But looking past the Michigan State upset early in the year, and looking deep into the Chippewa’s record on road games against BCS schools dating back over three years, they have been destroyed in those game.  There is a large difference between the MAC and a BCS school out of the Big East.  BC is a veteran team and past their QB and WR compliments, Central Michigan has over 50 true or redshirt freshman on their travel squad.

After a tough defeat to Notre Dame last week, BC comes home here with plenty to prove as ESPN picked up this game for national TV.  One thing you look for this time of year in College football is scheduling, and this is the third straight road game for Central Michigan, and BC is hungry for a win here and have better players and more depth across the board.  Boston College allows just 86 yards rushing at home this season and Cen. Michigan likes to run it, and they do it fairly well in the MAC, but this is a step up in talent they face. This line opened up at 4 and has been driven up to 5.5 for good reason.  Getting BC at home off a loss and having Cen. Michigan on their third road game in a row, make BC a TD or better in this one in some wet weather Saturday.

Boston College 31  Central Michigan 21 lay the points
