Boston College is a slight favorite over Wake Forest. A few of the lines have had the Eagles and Demon Deacons as even. Wake Forest and BC should both be bowl bound in 2017. Neither will be great but both should win at least six games.

Wake Forest took care of business against a bad Presbyterian team in Week 1. Boston College had a much more competitive game against the Northern Illinois Huskies, ending in a 23-20 victory for the Eagles.

This is one of two meetings between two ACC teams this weekend. It might not be the most interesting of the two, but fans of any ACC football program should be watching these sort of games. Wake Forest and BC are teams that have the ability to upset anyone on any given week.

BC quarterback Anthony Brown had a solid outing in Week 1. He threw for nearly 200 yards and two touchdowns with only one interception. Star running back Jon Hilliman needs to step up in Week since he had less than 60 yards rushing on 25 attempts last week.
