Boston College Eagles
Boston College Eagles On New Year's Eve in the Motor City Bowl, the Vanderbilt Commodores take on the Boston College Eagles as the Eagles look for their 10th win for just the fifth time in school history. Odds makers are calling the Eagle underdogs against a Vandy team that has struggled through the second half of the season.

NCAA betting lines have the Commodores at -4 with the total on the game sitting at 41.

After a hot start, rattling off five straight wins and looking to be a possible contender for an SEC title, Vanderbilt cooled off down the stretch losing six of their final seven games. The Commodores can find some solace in making its fourth bowl appearance overall and first since the 1982 Hall of Fame Bowl, but Vandy is not satisfied with just being there.

"We all know that in the back of our minds ... that we're playing for a lot more than just for the guys in that span that couldn't make it or didn't
have a chance to play in a bowl game," Vanderbilt senior safety Reshard Langford said. "We're just trying to start something new and keep building on it."

Boston College wrapped up the regular season with four straight wins before dropping the ACC Title game to Virginia Tech. The Eagles will be looking to feast on a Vanderbilt offense that has not shown any consistency at the quarterback position. Boston College leads the nation with 26 interceptions and 36 turnovers.

Linebacker Mark Herzlich, the ACC defensive player of the year, returned two of his six interceptions for touchdowns.

"It gets us motivated," Herzlich said. "And we come out flying around early, we get one of those plays, it sets the tone for the game."

The Commodores have not said if they would be starting Chris Nickson or Mackenzi Adams at quarterback. Vandy has gone back and forth between the two all season long.

Take BC getting the 4 points. The Eagles should win out-right.
