ACC Conference - Boston College Eagles PreviewThe Boston College Eagles first season in the ACC has to be considered a positive even though the bowl committee sent them out east to play on the "Smurf Turf". Head Coach Tom O'Brien's team went on to win nine games, and beat Boise State on the road which says a lot. The sixth strait bowl win gives BC the longest streak in the NCAA. This year's team returns 12 starters, six O, six D. Slinger Matt Ryan is back to lead the offense after tossing for 1514 yards and eight TDs in only five starts. Though the Wide-outs are deep and talented they did lose one of their best deep threats. The ground game packs a punch with the solid duo of Andre Callender and LV Whitworth.Click for a list of college football betting predictions! The Offensive Line could be a fault where a pair of All ACC players will have to be replaced. HC O'Brien always fields a solid O-Line, but it looks like this year's might need a bit more time to develop and the offense will suffer because of it. There's a pair of gigantic holes to fill on defense at LB and DE with the departure of Ray Henderson and Mathias Kiwanuka. LB Brian Toal will take on more of a role defensively, as well as be BC's short yardage gainer on offense. The secondary looks to be in good shape with '05 leading tackler Jamie Silva, Ryan Glasper, and DeJuan Tribble all returning. It will be hard for the Boston College Eagles to match the 16 PPG they gave up last season, but this will still be a strong unit. Special teams should also be improved as O'Brien usually puts forth winning teams. Check out Bodog and start winning NOW!

QB Ryan must start every game, the re-vamped O-Line must gel quickly, and BC's defense must fill the holes in its front seven for the Eagles to keep pace in the division. If they do, BC will go bowling again, and have a shot at extending its streak. HC O'Brien needs three more wins to become the Eagles all time winningest coach. He should achieve that in the first 6 games. 1800 Sports is back with plenty of free football predictions from the Worlds best handicappers! --- by Bones McCoy at 1800-sports.com on September 09, 2006
