Boston College vs SMU Prediction, Pick, College Football Odds for Saturday, October 3

The Boston College Eagles head down to face the SMU Mustangs in Texas this Saturday afternoon, with kickoff scheduled for noon on The CW network. SMU enters this matchup as a heavy twenty-one and a half point favorite on the point spread, while the over and under point total rests at fifty-five and a half.

Bill O'Brien is currently in his third year directing the Boston College program, having taken over full play-calling duties following a disappointing two-win campaign last season. Quarterback Kevin Jennings of the Mustangs has been highlighted as a top player prop option to find the end zone anytime during the upcoming contest.

Following a complete roster overhaul in the transfer portal, the Eagles have experienced a rocky start to their current campaign with two victories through their first four games. Division II transfer quarterback Mason McKenzie has stepped into the starting role for Boston College, utilizing his exceptional mobility to pace the ground attack with three hundred and sixty-three rushing yards and seventy-four carries.

McKenzie has accumulated seven hundred and fifty-nine passing yards while tossing five interceptions during his initial four contests at the FBS level. Running back Evan Dickens provides additional support in the backfield behind McKenzie as the team's primary ball carrier, following an encouraging performance on the ground in a narrow loss to Virginia Tech.
