2. Boston College at UMass
LINE Boston College -37
ATS PICK Boston College
UMass was my pick of picks last week – in the game preview the call was 51-6 Pitt, and it was 51-7; I’ll do better next time – because it stayed right on brand,
UMass football just doesn’t score.
As I pointed out last week, the Minutemen scored one touchdown in the four-game 2020 and haven’t scored more than ten in seven of the last eight games. The only win over the last 19 outings was over Akron in 2019 that went winless.
Between the transfer portal, rebuilding, and a whole lot of attempts to find something that works, UMass is struggling to find its footing in the world.
Week 2 Game Previews, Predictions, Schedules
ACC | Big Ten | Big 12 | Pac-12 | SEC
Enter Boston College, who makes the trip over to Amherst to tune up for … Temple? Okay, but there is some work to be done here.
The 51-0 win over Colgate was great, but the Eagles still have to find a running game before the dates start to get more dangerous. Missouri is up in a. few weeks, then Clemson, then NC State. BC has a passing game, but it has to do more.
It’s the D, though, that will get you where you need to be.
