Betting lines, game preview, and prediction for SMU vs. Boston College

Does everyone still understand that SMU is likely to make it to the College Football Playoff?

The team still has to beat Virginia and deal with a dangerous Cal team, but they are rested and ready for the final kick after two weeks off.

Finish strong with three straight wins and go to the ACC Championship. If the team is 12-1, it will get a top four seed. If it is 11-2, it will probably be around 11th, but it has a chance to handle this on its own.

Boston College needs to win before they can bowl. Bill O’Brien’s first season as head coach was good. A win over Syracuse after three straight losses saved the season.

A win in Dallas would send a strong message. If it does not happen, it needs to beat either North Carolina or Pitt at home for the sixth time.

SMU vs Boston College: Who Will Win?

It seems like SMU keeps missing the mark no matter how high it is set. It won games even though it turned the ball over a lot, and it stepped up its defense to shut down Pitt. If that team were called Florida State, it would be in the top five right now.

Thomas Castellanos is leaving Boston College to play for another team, so now it is up to Grayson James to be great.

The Mustangs will have some trouble with the running attack, but the secondary is about to get hit hard. With their offensive balance and versatility, SMU will put on another great show.
