Wake Forest +6.5 2.2% play 

Everyone is on Boston College here and Wake Forest is getting absolutely no respect in my opinion.  This game has been moved up because of the incoming hurricane and weather conditions won't be ideal with the winds.  This typically favors a run first team like Boston College, but I think Wake Forest is prepared and has a better shot of stopping the run than does Boston College.  Let's take a look at the facts. 

Wake Forest's weakness on defense is vs. the pass, and so I like this match-up against BC who has run the ball 70% of the time this year.  AJ Dillon is no doubt a great back so far, but the hype is just too much if you ask me.  Wake's run defense was impressive last year holding opponents to 3.47 yards per carry at home, 4.31 in conference play while BC was 4.95 ypc ont he road and 4.46 ypc allowed in conference play.  BC just got done giving up a ton of yards vs. Holy Cross on the ground, and I expect Wake to have more success running the ball than most people think.  In last year's game at Boston College it was Wake Forest who out gained Boston College on the ground 158 to 142.  Both team's return their offensive line which are the strengths of the team and I just feel like Wake Forest will keep this game close.
