Boston College vs Dartmouth Prediction
Dartmouth comes into this matchup trying to snap their three-game losing streak, but they have lost by margins of 13, 28, and 14 points. Boston College has won five games in a row and is fresh off of the Cayman Islands Classic Championship. The Eagles have had two close calls in a row against Boise State and Missouri State, but they have won by two points in both games. I don’t necessarily think BC is very good this season, but Dartmouth has looked pretty bad. Take the Eagles at home.
