Tough draw for Vandy playing BC in their first bowl game in ages.  If the ACC Championship hangover carries into the bowl game, Vandy could be the play, otherwise BC's recent bowl history is solid.  They've won something like 8 straight bowl games.

Vanderbilt at home in Nashville in the Music City Bowl. We all know what BC did when they played Boise St on their own blue turf in the 2005 humanatarian bowl. They left Idaho with a 27 - 21 victory. BC is a bowl game moneymaker.
Boston College - 27               Vanderbilt - 21
Eagles -4                    over 41.5

Not so fast my friend.... BC has QB questions.... and if that holds true for the bowl game and Vandy being skyhigh for this one and they do play in the SEC... I'd lean Vandy.. but still some ?'s.  Sharp

Leaning on BC here.  Even with the game in Nashville, Vandy had issues filling their OWN stadium this season so how are they going to fill up the Titans???  Vandy beat up mostly on teams they should have beaten this year but offense has been a mystery.  BC has some quesions, but Vandy is a notch below in almost all aspects.

Sharp   you made me go back and look at this one a little closer. At first glance you see Boston College and immediatly think bowl win and cover. Yes BC will win but asking them to cover 4 points against an SEC team might be a streach.
I hate to do it but I'm changing it up.
Boston College - 20             Vanderbilt - 17
Commadores +3.5          I'M even changing it to under 41.5
Hey winter arrives in 4 days...I think ....Seasons change and so do my picks.

BC to win and cover.  I am feeling at least a 6 point win!

If the 2nd string QB is the starter - BC is likely to be more 1 dimensional which gives Vanderbilt the advantage.  Vandy has faced plenty of good rushing attacks.  8 in the box to stop the run.... some good field position to start some drives, and the next thing you know.. Vandy has 13 points to BC 14 and wha la - a Vandy cover.  Of course - all this depends on the QB.  Why couldn't it be this easy?  Wait to see who's starting.  Come back later.  Sharp

Vanderbilt is just putrid. I can't see how they are going to score any points against that BC D.

When its punch out time, BC up by at least 7.

BC for me here on a medium high play. Vandy is self destructive from what I saw. BC should have some good chances on defense. Hopefully the 2nd string QB had good practices since the layoff.

Expect poor QB play in this game. Crane is out for BC and the backup didnt look to hot in the ACC championship game. Vandy's QB have a under 50% efficiency for the year. Its going to be a game af runs, incompletes, and punts.

BC went 4-1 down the stretch SU vs. ND, FSU, Wake, Maryland, and V Tech.  Vandy went 2-5 it's last 7 SU and didn't fair much better ATS.  Vandy averages 260 yards a game!!!  They rank 118th in the country on offense!!! I don't care if BC starts a RB at QB........they have the longest bowl winning streak in the county at 8 in a row!!!!  And they have the 8th ranked defense in the country. 
 
BC large.......with a small two teamer and the under.
