SMU Mustangs Analysis
After starting the season going 2-2 straight up, SMU rolled to 9 straight victories. Some of the victories made SMU look like a College Football Playoff squad.
The Mustangs beat Memphis 38-34 on the road and Navy 59-14. The 26-14 victory over Tulane impressed because it happened on Tulane’s field and SMU’s starting quarterback was hurt. If the Mustangs can repeat the performance against BC, SMU will cover.
SMU Offensive Averages
- Total Yards: 466.7
- Passing Yards: 285.6
- Rushing Yards: 181.1
- Points Scored: 40.6
- Turnovers: 5

Boston College Eagles Analysis
Although Boston College finished their season losing 3 straight, there were moments during the season when BC looked like an ACC contender.
The Eagles hung with Florida State in a 31-29 loss. If Boston College had secured the win, FSU’s griping about missing out on the College Football Playoff would be meaningless.
Boston College also beat Syracuse and Georgia Tech, a couple of bowl teams. In addition, Boston College played against better teams in the regular season than the SMU Mustangs.
Boston College Offensive Averages
- Total Yards: 382.2
- Passing Yards: 191.0
- Rushing Yards: 191.2
- Points Scored: 25.0
- Turnovers: 5
Boston College Defensive Averages
- Total Yards: 391.0
- Passing Yards: 197.4
- Rushing Yards: 193.6
- Points Scored: 29.5
- Takeaways: 8
Final Betting Prediction: 24 SMU Mustangs vs Boston College Eagles
On paper, SMU is the mut better team, but this happens at Fenway Park, which makes it a Boston College home game. So with their fans behind them, can Boston College step it up enough to keep this close?
It’s not likely. For sure, BC had moments during the regular season where they looked like a solid team. But those moments were far and few in between.
Not only that, but BC ended their season losing 48-22 to Virginia Tech, 24-16 to Pittsburgh, and 45-20 against Miami. Southern Methodist would beat all three of those teams this season. The Mustangs take on the Eagles in Boston College’s backyard, but it doesn’t matter. SMU covers.
