3. Boston College will throw for over 200 yards

Louisville has been allowing a decent amount of passing yards against teams that aren’t named Murray State.

While I can see a game where they do good against the Eagles in the secondary, it is more probable that Boston College and their new found quarterback will find some holes in the defense. Louisville allowed nearly 300 passing yards to Indiana and over 300 to Georgia Tech as well this season.

It would not be surprising if the Cardinals let Boston College do the same thing to them. Especially since BC was able to throw for over 300 against a top five football team in Florida State. However, I do expect Louisville to expect BC to throw to ball based on their success last week. ButI don’t think Louisville will really have the ability to stopping the passing game entirely.

It’s not out of the question that Boston College will throw under 200, but based on last week I think the Eagles will probably be able to air it out for over 200 yards on Saturday.
