The Kraft Fight Hunger Bowl on Sunday, January ninth is a matchup between Nevada's racing attack and the Boston College run defense. Nevada is a major fave in ncaa nfl odds but the matchup could actually prefer Boston College. While the Boston press would have you think BC got picked for the lowest of the low of ACC bowls, it's a pretty good matchup thinking about BC will take on a team with the second-highest week 15 BCS ranking of any ACC bowl challenger. The quality of the challenger is reflected in the opening point spread: the Eagles open as a 9 1/2 point longshot. Genuinely? That much. While it's correct I'm an unabashed homer, that looks a major high, no? Nevada -9, total 55 at the internet sportsbook - This line looks really high thinking about Boston College has the best run defense in the country. The one factor that Nevada does really well is run the ball but they'll be struggling with a BC defense that allowed only 72.7 rushing yards per competition this year. Nevada is 3rd overall in total offense and 3rd in rushing offense. They're headed by Colin Kaepernick who is a dual threat but is mainly noted for his racing. The Wolfpack furthermore have Vai Taua who landed 22 TDs this year. Nevada will be racing into a defense headed by linebackers Mark Herzlich and Luke Kuechly. The two headed a BC defense that was strong all year. Kuechly headed the country with 171 tackles this year. BC furthermore likes to run the ball with running backs Montel Harris and freshman Andre Williams. Nevada's defense was nothing amazing this year so Boston College should manage to move the ball on the ground and score points in this game despite the fact that they only landed over 26 points once this year.
