Oddsmakers currently have the Wolf Pack listed as 10½-point favorites versus the Eagles, while the game's total is sitting at 55½.

Boston College boasts a dynamic duo on defense in linebackers Mark Herzlich and Luke Kuechly.

While Kuechly was a finalist for the Bronko Nagurski Trophy after leading the nation with 171 tackles, Herzlich completed an inspirational comeback from Ewing's sarcoma by contributing 60 tackles and four interceptions.

Boston College was a 16-7 winner in their most recent outing on the road against Syracuse. They covered the 3.5–point spread as underdogs, while the total score (23) made winners of UNDER bettors.

Was a good season for the Wolf Pack, who earned the program's first AP ranking since 1948 and its best regular-season record as an FBS school. Nevada also captured a share of the Western Athletic Conference title, thanks largely to a 34-31 overtime win over then-No. 3 Boise State on Nov. 26.

They couldn't have done it without Kaepernick, who threw for 20 touchdowns and ran for 20 more at the helm of coach Chris Ault's pistol offense.

In their last action, Nevada was a 35-17 winner on the road against Louisiana Tech. They covered the 7.5–point spread as favorites, while the combined score (52) was profitable news for UNDER bettors.
