Boston College vs. Missouri Prediction
I’m with Missouri here. It may sound hypocritical, but I think Boston College is a paper top-25 team that really hasn’t impressed me when you look at the wins now. I’m not saying a road win over Florida State isn’t solid, but look at the state of the Seminoles, and then you beat up on Duquesne. Sure, Missouri beat Murray State and Buffalo, but this is a really talented Missouri team that was strong to close out the year last year and is a team I’m really high on this season. I think Missouri shows through here and gets it done. Give me Missouri in a beatdown.
