Colgate at Boston College 9/4/21 - College Football Picks & Predictions

The Raiders are projected to have a football season this year. Last year the Raiders took the entire season off as the team was unable to play with the COVID protocols that were in place for the team. 

Now, this year the Colgate team will definitely have some issues with a year off from the normal play. However, the Colgate Raiders are also coming in with a new coach coming into the team. Dan Hunt ended up leaving the team earlier this year with a violation of the university policy, but it was not involving any students.

Boston College ended up playing good on the year last year, but decided to forgo any bowl games. The final record for Boston College last year ended up sitting on a 6-5 record on the year, but finished at 5-5 in the ACC last season. 

The Eagles are coming with 27.8 points per game. The offense has gained a total of 385.9 yards per game as a team. The Eagles have allowed a total of 28.4 points per game. Defensively the Eagles have allowed a total of 416.8 yards per game on the year.

Colgate is coming here with some problems and most of them stem back to a year off, but then losing their head coach. Those two factors mean that the Raiders do not have a lot of experience and not much in the way of continuity when the team needs it the most and that will allow Boston College to get the win here rather easily. Final Score Prediction, Boston College Eagles win 51-6.
