Boston College at Boise State

Home underdogs in a bowl game? Worth a long hard look. Dan Hawkins last game in Boise will be an emotional ride, and the home team will no doubt want to send their man out on top in front of the home crowd. Following a theme this bowl season, Boston College is another team surely hoping for a better bowl game this season, especially off their fast start. Are they excited to go to Boise and play on the Smurf Turf? Doubt it. On October 15th, BC stood 6-1 with four games remaining. All of their goals were in front of them. Beat Virginia Tech and ACC Championship talk would start. They were trounced on ESPN by Tech, and followed that up with a horrible loss to North Carolina, and the season lost some of its luster. Boise will have too much emotion in this one for the Eagles to overcome. This will be a great football game, but in the end, expect Boise to get a last minute win, and a fitting send off for HC Dan Hawkins. Oh yeah, did I mention that BSU is 29-0 in their last 29 home games and 19-5 ATS in the last 24 vs. winning teams? One star on the Broncos plus the points at home.
