Army (+27) at BOSTON COLLEGE
203-170-4 over my L377 Bonus Play releases! Ready for Saturday afternoon's best Freebie pup? Here it is...
Several factors come into play in this match up, but none bigger than the fact oddsmakers are grossly underestimating this Army squad, which was able to outgain and out-first down Wake Forest last week despite losing 21-10. How did they do it? Defense, plain and simple.
While I won't go as far to say they Black Knights are on par with Tenuta's Georgia Tech defense, I will say this is the best Army D we've seen in recent memory, including 9 senior starters! They've allowed a total of 3 offensive touchdowns this season, and while Matt Ryan will surely add to that total, I don't believe the Knights are simply going to roll over.
Also, consider this is a huge letdown situation if I've ever seen one. In a schedualing quirk, Boston College is coming off 3 straight ACC wins, sitting high on the hog with their 3-0 record, I wouldn't be surprised in the least if the Eagles came out flat in this one.
Bottom line, while we all expect Boston College to win this game SU, covering the hefty number is an entirely different story. The Eagles are a great offensive squad led by a guy we'll see on Sundays, but underestimate Army at your own risk, as they showed us last week they can grab the cash against the bigger names.
Take Army plus the points over Boston College in this afternoon college football match up.
