Reasoning: Nobody loves Colin Kaepernick and this Nevada offense more than I do and nobody thinks that this Boston College offense is as blah as I do. But with that said the Eagles won their last five games and with a month plus to prepare for Chris Ault's tricky offense should be just fine.
Last year the Wolfpack were an even bigger favorite against SMU in the bowl game and June Jones had his team more than ready in the easy outright. I guess Nevada has learned a thing or two from that beating but you see all the time how these different offenses lose a lot when there is a lot of time to prepare for it. Georgia Tech every season looks awful this time of the year and once again did against Air Force. Meanwhile the Falcons did very little with their triple option attack against the Yellow Jackets. Navy is another example as they were very mediocre in the defeat against San Diego State.
Football spread betting experts know that Boston College is going to have to slow this thing down because if it turns into a shootout they will have little chance. But that is exactly what the Eagles have down for the last month of the season as they have won those five straight with scores of 16-10, 23-13, 21-16, 17-13 and 16-7. The boys from Chestnut Hill literally have the best run defense in the nation and that certainly is a good thing against Kaepernick, Tua and the 'Pack.
Nobody can fully stop the Nevada Pistol offense, I get that. But BC will do enough to slow it down and the running game led by Montel Harris and Andre Williams will wreak a little havoc as well keeping the College in the game.
You have to love what Mark Herzlich has been able to do coming back from cancer and in the end today I will back him and this fairly live dog.
The pick: Boston College (+7.5) from Matt Rivers, Senior Fellow at OffshoreInsiders.com
For more information: Yup that's right, Matt Rivers nailed the 400,000* Seahawks as much as anybody can nail anything and that was only the second highest rated play in my arsenal. I also came through with the underdog 200,000* Jets as well . Now to the big big gun and a 500,000* from Arrowhead between the Ravens and Chiefs. This is the biggest and most powerful play that I will release, period. Bonus 200,000* Green Bay-Philadelphia as I take care of business one more time. 2-0, no doubt about it! Click now to purchase
