Our Boston College Eagles vs Michigan State Spartans Prediction
Both Boston College and Michigan State won their Week 1 games comfortably; however, it is fair to say that the Eagles were more impressive. The Eagles relied heavily on their passing attack, and as a result, threw for a total of 458 yards. As for Michigan State, they leaned on their rushing offense, totaling 181 yards on the ground.
That being said, both teams were able to defend the run efficiently, with Michigan State allowing just 29 yards and Boston College allowing 16 yards. With that, it is likely that the Spartans will not have the same success on the ground as they did in Week 1 and will have to try and keep up with a passing offense that was underwhelming in the first game. Because of that, our Boston College Eagles vs Michigan State Spartans prediction is: Boston College Eagles +4.All tips are fully researched and given in good faith, but profits cannot be guaranteed.
