Quick Lane Bowl
Maryland (6-6, 3-6 Big Ten) vs. Boston College (6-6, 2-6 ACC)
Dec. 26 – 2:30 p.m., ESPN
Ford Field, Detroit

Average Line: Maryland , -1.5

In a former-ACC vs current-ACC matchup, the Terrapins and Eagles should provide a pretty good game to watch rather than standing in the returns line at Walmart.

Boston College hasn’t been as stout defensively as they were in past seasons, but still only gave up 24.6 points per game. The Terps are enjoying their new head coach, D.J. Durkin, who took his team to a bowl in his first season – no small feat considering a conference schedule that included Penn State, Michigan, Ohio State and Nebraska.

This will be a game filled with trick plays, turnovers and probably a special teams play to end it.

Prediction: BC’s wins have come against some pretty soft competition this year. Take Maryland to cover up to 3.

Next: Independence Bowl
