2012 College Football Win Totals – Boston College
The 5Dimes 2012 college football win totals for Boston College is 5.5 wins, with the over returning a healthy +150 and the under costing a chalky -190. In going 4-8 last year BC broke a streak of 12 straight seasons with bowl appearances. Can the Eagles get back to bowl eligibility and cash a healthy return for over backers?

Jimmy, Miami line down to 1. Will you be doing analysis of ACC week 1 games? I like BC in this game but I want to hear what you have to say about it.
I would also like to know if you agree with Pezgordo about his Georgia Tech – Virginia Tech under selection. I have never played many totals, so I am not too confident when wagering on them.
Davis,
I will be starting with a week 1 breakdown shortly, and that is one of the first games that jumped out at me. I’m pretty high on BC to have a pretty decent start and their offense is in a position to succeed here against a very inexperienced Miami defense. I like AL Golden at Miami but just expect him to go through some growing pains early on as the schedule is brutal and the team just isn’t very experienced. We’ll talk about this game in the near future.
I agree with Pez about that total, the under appears to be the right side. This is Virginia Tech’s best defense in a couple of years and I think they have a really good chance at limiting the effectiveness of the GT option attack. PJ is always a wildcard coach and I’m sure he will implement some wrinkles here, but how confident are we that Tevin Washington (and a WR corps returning 0 career catches) can execute them?
This Georgia Tech defense doesn’t get a lot of acclaim, but they return a decent amount of experience (including a very solid back 7) and should be fully acclimated to Al Groh’s 3-4 defense. Logan Thomas has been extremely hyped but I’m skeptical; last year he had a ton of experience around him with seasoned wideouts and a gamebreaking ground game. He is going to have to prove to me that he’s ready to be THE GUY on this team when entire defenses are able to focus on making him uncomfortable (especially one that has had all offseason to scheme).
Add to that two teams who are historically run-heavy, and we can expect the clock to keep moving. Playing totals is about having a good idea of game plans as well as pace and both of them tend to point to the under here. At this point I’m not sure I will play it, but I certainly lean that way. I will have more to say about the Week 1 card in the coming days.
I was looking over the BC and Miami game yesterday and was researching both programs. This game is now down to “PK” and I want to find an advantage with BC. However, the only advantage I can find with any confidence is the fact that the game is being played at BC. I did like what I heard about the work the defensive linemen had put in over the Summer. They had a “sensei” come in and work with them on their handwork and how to use better leverage to get by blocks. It was interesting stuff. I THINK that BC is the play right now, but one key injury could tip this game back to Miami easily.
