Nov 21 | Boston College

[BGIF]

Opened at -16, now -17.


Sagarin Predictor has ND about -19 on a neutral site. The game is in BC's front yard with an Irish air.

That's a lot of points to cover. ND not the best at covering large spreads, just hoping for a good solid win with no injuries....not sure I have the pull with the powers that be.

 

[BeauBenken]

Boston College has one of the better defenses in the entire nation even when coupled with a subpar offense.

Considering ND's less than mediocre run defense at times, this could be an interesting game. At least more so than people think.

Besides, it's BC and ND.

I agree. This will be a good test for our offense as Stanford has a tough physical defense as well.

I will have my TV on mute all week, as a show of how badly I don't want to listen to Flutie call this game on Saturday.

Is there any chance it moves to NBC? I still think it is incredible that its not on NBC, given the playoff implications. I didn't realize the contract had this exception for Shamrock Series games.

 

[NDWorld247]

We are going to roll BC. Their defense is stingy and will be a good test heading into Stanford, but their offense is averaging 8 pts a game in 7 games against FBS competition. They replaced their entire OL this year and have two true freshmen starting (LT and RG), not to mention a freshman QB. I think this one is going to get ugly quickly.

Nope.

Nope.

It is on NBC right?

Can't wait for the complaining when it's a 21-0 Irish win.

I love our fanbase. hahaha

Would be an awesome game to attend, but I'll enjoy in the safety, comfort, and affordable living room here in TX.
Irish should blow these guys out.

If your thinking ND will hang half a hundred, it's doubtful. They've only allowed more than 17 points 3 times with only Clemsonscoring more than 3 TDs. BC hasn't really been blow out by anybody.

They have a good defense and an offense that's allergic to the end zone. With the exception of their opening two games against 1AA competition they only scored more than 10 points in a game 3 times hitting 17 twice.

Lost to Clemson 34-17

Lost to VT 26-10

Lost to NCS 24-8

Lost to Lou 17-10

Lost to FSU 14-0

Lost to Duke 9-7

Lost to WF 3-0

Looking at how their defense has been - it will be monumental in the eyes of the Selection Committee if ND can somehow blow these guys out and put up 30+.

[dublinirish]

Just booked my hotel. Going to bring the wife and baby into the city for the festivities all day, then head to the game by my onesies.

did you end up offloading your tickets in the end?

 

[wizards8507]

I sold my fancy tickets and bought a single standing room. Sold them at face value but lost $300 in StubHub fees. I made most of that back selling my Temple - ND and Temple - Penn State tickets, so it wasn't a total loss.

Yes. How many did they say you can order?
