Sagarin ratings:

Louisville 77.08

Boston College 67.49

Boston College has a mobile QB that can extend plays and played well against FSU. The BC defense is giving up 29 points a game and gave up 28 points to FCS Holy Cross and 27 points to Northern Illinois. Louisville should be able to put up at least 30 points to this swiss cheese defense. Louisville's defense hasn't been great as well but is a little better than Boston College's so I expect Louisville to win a high scoring game but not cover the spread. I think Louisville wins by 10. Does Louisville get the win or does Boston College make it two in a row?

I think Louisville will win this game, but BC will absolutely make a game of it.  Louisville's defense will have to make some plays at the end of the game in order close this one out.  That'll be the deciding factor.  I'll throw out a prediction of 28-24 in favor of the Cardinals.  

I think Louisville wins and that this is likely a close game. 

Go Cards!

I’ll happily take the nice run for the touchdown. No idea what BC defender was thinking on that face mask, wasn’t close to the first down before the score and had three defenders right there.

3:21 left in the 1st, Louisville 14 BC 0. I really want to see them play a full game to their potential today.

8:43 left in the 2nd, Louisville 28 BC 0. The Cards look very good today so far!

Louisville 42-14 at halftime. Jack Plummer throws spot on against a bad BC defense.

BC isn’t good which is even more reason that there should be no big changes.

Whoops.

Focus for the 3rd quarter needs to be not letting up. We get the ball, go out and make it 7 for 7 on touchdowns.
