I currently attend Vanderbilt, and I am the biggest University of Maryland fan on the planet so I follow all ACC teams and SEC teams very very carefully. To basically put it Vanderbilt stands no chance. Boston College -3 against Vanderbilt. Boston College was in the ACC championship game and has won 4/5 last games including wins at Florida State, agaisnt Maryland and at Wake Forest. Vanderbilt started 5-0 but has lost 6 of its last 7 including getting dominated by Wake Forest, losing to Tennessee and Duke. Vanderbilts offense has been un existent since about week 4 (except one exception) and is showing no signs of improvement, Vanderbilt is way out of their league in this game and will just get out powered by Boston Colleges o-line and Vanderbilt doesn't have a chance against BC's defense. Hell Vanderbilt only put up 7 on Duke 10 on wake and 10 on Tennessee. Basically to sum it up Vanderbilt lost to two lower tier teams in the ACC already this year including Duke who has only won 2 of their last 40 conference football games. BC has been a top tier team in the ACC for several years, Vanderbilt stands no chance, If they cant beat a team in a conference who's winning percentage is 5% over the last 5 years, how are they going to compete with one of the top 2 teams in that same conference?
Yes BC's QB is injured but he was not that great, and BC did beat Maryland with him, and yes Maryland has had its up and downs this year but they played a very well game against Boston College in which Maryland lost, and as we all know when Maryland actually plays well they rarely lose. BC's back up QB will be just as good as Crane he just has not got the reps and practice that he needs BUT this bowl game is not until the very end of the month, I believe new years eve, being able to work 1 on 1 with this QB for so long will prove very positive for the eagles. The people picking these lines I think are relying to heavily on the game being played in Nashville. I think they have forgotten that we are a SMALL PRIVATE school FULL of kids who do NOT care about football. We cant even fill a half ass student section corner of the stadium for the UF game. In fact every time we play UF or LSU or any other big SEC schools there are MORE fans of the apposing team at our own stadium than our own fans. I know ESPN made it seem like the town embraced Vanderbilt, but the fact is people in Nashville dont care about Vanderbilt most are long time UT fans. Vanderbilts offense has been DEAD except for the kentucky game since week 5. Wake Forest dominated us, the score doesnt seem too too bad but the problem is there is no flow to our offense, we cant make simple plays or have any sustained drives. We cant decide on a QB as both have been shaky all year and against Wake we decided hell lets let our third string QB give it a go. I man honestly we had some early momentum and got lucky to get to go to 5-0 and sneak out one more win to get a bowl game. We lost to DUKE at home. The ****ing Duke Blue Devils. Not to mention BC has WON their last 8 bowl games. We are playing a team who generally plays well in bowl games, is getting hot at the right part of the season and we are falling apart by the seems. Everyone is saying ohh Vandy will be so excited its their first bowl game in 25 years, ****ing excited? Yeah so excited we couldnt even get our 6th win to put us in a bowl against DUKE. Vandy averaged just 11.5 points in six losses in its final seven games. We arent even sure what quarterback we will use, Mackenzi Adams, Larry Smith or Chris Nickson. Maybe we should be favored we get to play 3 different Quarter Backs
And you can say yes BC's QB Dominique Davis had a horrible game against Va tech, but va tech has a good defense and seems to always show up for the ACC champ game. I mean Vanderbilts D is nothing compared to Va tech's D. BC is also just much bigger and powerful in the trenches. Dominique Davis also played a key role in BC's win over Wake Forest at Wake.
Whats the best cure for Vandys ailing offense?
Quarterback shuffle: Missing from practice was quarterback Mackenzi Adams, who is hobbled by a bursa sac injury in his knee and a chest injury. Adams split time with Chris Nickson against Wake Forest before redshirt freshman Larry Smith was called into action to finish the game after Nickson also went down with a shoulder injury.
"We're trying to monitor Mackenzi to see if he's going to be ready to go,'' Johnson said.
The game will be Boston College 24-10, and it will be another year of Vandy football, we caught a lucky break or two early on in order tog et 6 wins, but the big step is getting to a bowl not winning a bowl, thats far away in our program.
So the Lock is Boston College -3.5 against Vandy
I bought 1/2 point and put $2,000 on it. Figured it was worth about a $200 difference for that half a point on a $2,000 bet

lol I jumped on the line at -3.5 and bought a point, I think Vandys chances of winning are probably equal to Boise St beating Oklahoma in a BCS bowl game 
Vandy gives up less than 2 points more.
