I'll take the strong dog in Boston College who I expect to win OUTRIGHT so I am taking the +115 moneyline. With UNC missing their best players in starting qb T.J. Yates and WR Brandon Tate, the tar heels will be fighting an uphill battle against one of the nations fiercest defenses. This BC team was 1 3pt loss away from a perfect 6-0 record and the team success is coming from the top 4 defense in the nation. In 3 out of the last 4 games they have allowed 1 offensive TD. All being at home but they do have a road shut out under their belts and in the last road game they gave up 3 with 1 being a 61 yard play.
BC has the 5th best passing defense and with the tar heels missing their top offensive weapson, they showed their struggles in a devastating 16-13 point loss to uva last week. UNC scored only 1 td in that game. UNC does have a tough defense of their own but one big difference is now that yates is out BCs has the more athletic qb who could possibly fend off the opposing defense a little better. Chris Crane already has 7 rushing TDs this season. I believe the tar heels defense has to have loss some confidence after allowing a 82 yard 9 play drive in the final minute of the game. Coming off that hurtbreaking ot loss and dealing with key injuries should cost them a victory in what should be a physical chanllenging football match. Dont forget Tar heels also looked bad against ND being down double digits halfway through the game and needing a 4th qtr td to win. Tar heels wont do enough on offense and BC will make sure to limit their turnovers to get this W.
