 Boston College has Clemson right where they want them, but that probably still won’t matter. Here’s how to stream the ACC version of Friday Night Lights.

There is no good time to play this Clemson team. They are talented and experienced. They have both an explosive offense and a suffocating defense.  Boston College has not won an ACC game since 2014. The Eagles’ only real shot is Clemson coming in completely unfocused. Even then it will be an uphill battle to play spoiler.

If Clemson was going to have a down week, this would be it. They played a hard-fought, emotionally-draining game against Louisville last Saturday night. The win combined with Florida State continuing to self-implode has all but assured the Tigers a spot in the ACC championship game in Orlando. Combine the hangover on a short week with the possible look-ahead and you have a recipe for a game that could be closer than it should be.

Boston College also may have a defense that could at least slow Deshaun Watson and his cohorts if you believe the numbers. Steve Addazio’s defense is tops in the nation in total defense and passing defense through five games. Clemson turned the ball over five times against Louisville but astonishingly overcame them. Louisville had some brilliant plays by their defensive backs to pad that turnover total. However, the Eagles  have a negative turnover margin, so it will have to be the Tigers giving them away, not BC taking them in this one.

The line had very little movement off the opening 17-point spread. For comparison’s sake, Clemson was a 17-point favorite at home last season and the game pushed at 34-17.

Will Clemson have a hangover after their big win over Louisville? Will that even matter? (Probably not.) Will there even be a stadium left if BC makes this their first ACC win since 2014? (There certainly won’t be goalposts left.)
