Blitzalytics Analysis
Line Cincinnati (-7) Over/Under 56 Against the Spread - Cincinnati (8-5) Boston College (7-5)
The Bearcats came a few possessions away from being The Group of Five representative in the New Year’s Six. They are led by 1,000-yard rusher Mike Warren. Boston College has been led by running back AJ Dillon who has rushed for almost 1,900 yards. As prolific as Dillon has been, the Boston College defense is the direct opposite giving up almost 500 yards per contest. Outside of a big loss to Ohio State, Cincinnati has been very consistent. Especially against the spread.
The Degenerate Menace Says: With Boston College’s starting quarterback and running back out of this game and the presumed weakness of the ACC this year, it is hard to go with the Eagles in this contest. The computer agrees whole-heartedly in this one.
Prediction: Cincinnati 38 - Boston College 30
