Syracuse vs Boston College Prediction
Syracuse is in rough shape, and that includes being outscored 17-108 in its last two games. This Syracuse defense is arguably the worst in college football. With that said, Boston College hasn’t won a game since August 30. Boston College is 106th in scoring offense and 119th in scoring defense. Boston College has been favored three times this season and has outright lost two of those games.
The truth is Boston College and Syracuse are excited this season is ending, so if forced to pick, I’d want the points. It’s senior night for 25 seniors, so if there was a game for Syracuse to get up for, it’s this one. I’ll grab the free field goal.
