I have a lean to BC -3 at home for now. Eagles could match their win total for all of last year with a win tonight (2)!! But seriously, they could be a bit improved if they have just a half-decent running game (which they did not have last year) because the Retting-to-Amidon passing connection is a damn good one. Andre Williams rushed for 114 yards vs. Villanova last week (I know...FCS school) and Wake allowed 102 rushing yards on 4.3 YPC to Presbyterian (but a worse FCS school), so Williams could run well again and that should allow BC to score just enough points to cover -3.
Wake played 10 true freshman last week, and while those guys getting a win in their debuts is nice, the Deacons' youth should be more noticeable with the step up to conference play (hard to say "step up" and ACC in same sentence, but it WAS Presbyterian after all
), especially on the road.

But on to what he said, turnovers are are function of luck (especially since three of them were fumble recoveries) and the Wake rushing defense really wasn't that great. Besides which, last week really determined nothing about who the "better" team between these two because BC faced the much better FCS opponent.
