Key Stats
Boston College
Boston College has been one of the pleasant surprises this season, most notably beating Florida State in Week 1 by a score of 28-13. New head coach Bill O’Brien already has the Eagles ranked in the Top 25, their first time being ranked since 2018.
The Eagles are averaging 42.0 points per game this season, while their defense is allowing 6.5 points per game. Their offense heavily relies on the run, and the Eagles are averaging 284.5 rushing yards per game, which is the ninth most in the country. Boston College is led by its three-headed trio of running backs, which includes Treshaun Ward, Kye Robichaux, and Turbo Richard, who each have over 100 rushing yards on the season.
Defensively, the Eagles have been solid as well, allowing an average of 214.0 total yards per game, the 15th-best defense nationally. Breaking this down further, the Eagles have allowed 173.5 passing yards per game and 40.5 rushing yards per game.
Missouri
Missouri looks to be on a mission this season to reach the SEC Championship. They have been nearly perfect in their first two games. While they have yet to be tested, Missouri’s defense has yet to allow an opponent a point.
The Tigers’ offense is averaging 44.5 points per game. It has also been truly balanced, averaging 286.5 passing yards per game and 217.0 rushing yards per game.
Led by Senior quarterback Brady Cook, the Tigers can beat their opponents in several ways, and we have not even seen Cook’s best this season.
Prediction
While Missouri is the clear favorite, going the other way and backing Boston College is much more appealing. The Tigers are facing their toughest test of the season by far, while the Eagles have already upset a Top 10 team with their win over Florida State. Both of these teams have proven to be tough defensively, and with the Eagles’ rushing attack, they should be able to keep the Tigers off balance. For that reason, backing Boston College to cover +17 (-112) will be our best bet.
Final Pick
Boston College Eagles +17 (-112)
