Boston College Looking For Second Upset Win

The Boston College Eagles have moved into the top-25 in the college football rankings after winning each of their first two games of the season. Bill O'Brien's team beat Florida State in their season opener before crushing FCS Duquesne in Week 2. Here, they will look to get a second road win over a ranked team on the season, one that would prove that beating Florida State was no fluke.

Boston College hasn't asked quarterback Thomas Castellanos to do too much this year. But he has handled everything that they have asked of him incredibly well, with six touchdown passes and no interceptions through two games. If he can continue to protect the football and complete passes efficiently, Boston College could hang around in this game or even win it outright.

Missouri Coming Off Of Two Straight Shutouts

The Missouri Tigers are 2-0 so far this season, beating Buffalo and Murray State out of the FCS by a combined margin of 89-0. But those warm-up games won't provide much of a frame of reference for this contest, where Missouri is actually facing serious competition from a power conference. We will see if Missouri will be able to maintain a similar level of play in what will be their biggest challenge of their non-conference season.

While the defense of Missouri will be challenged more than it has in the first two games of this season, something to watch for Missouri will be on the offensive side of the ball. Specifically, the performance of wide receiver Theo Wease Jr. will be something to watch, after he racked up 16 catches and 179 yards in his team's first two games. He could cause some major problems for the Boston College defense and could be a major reason Missouri moves to 3-0.

Boston College vs Missouri Best Bet

Missouri should be able to win this Boston College vs Missouri matchup on their home field. But the Boston College Eagles are well-coached and have proven that they can stand up to teams with physical advantages like Florida State. We will take the points with Boston College in what should be one of the better games of the weekend in college football on Saturday.
