After three really rough losses in a row to Atlantic Coast Conference foes, Syracuse football finally notched a success in league play, as the Orange scored two touchdowns in the game’s final minutes to stun Virginia Tech on the road in Blacksburg, Va., this past Saturday afternoon.
Now the ‘Cuse (4-4, 1-3) will look to build off of that momentum when the Orange hosts long-time rival Boston College beginning at 3:30 pm on Saturday, Oct. 30, in Central New York.
The Eagles (4-3, 0-3) started off the 2021 campaign red-hot, but they’ve fallen on tougher times of late, having dropped three-consecutive contests in ACC competition.
Most recently, last weekend, Boston College lost 28-14 on the road to Louisville. To date in the 2021 stanza, the Eagles have wins over Colgate, UMass, Temple and Missouri in the non-conference slate.
However, Boston College has yet to conquer a league foe, with setbacks to the aforementioned Cardinals, N.C. State and Clemson.
At this juncture, Syracuse football and then the Eagles represent the two teams in the basement of the ACC’s Atlantic division standings.

Syracuse vs. Boston College prediction for week 9
Cardiac ‘Cuse continued this past weekend, but this time around, the Orange came away with a positive result by knocking off Virginia Tech. That outcome was huge, as Syracuse football now can potentially aim for a bowl berth by capturing two of its remaining four games.
The Eagles, meanwhile, are struggling. I think that Boston College is a solid team, but the Orange should have restored confidence and momentum following the victory over the Hokies. I like the ‘Cuse to prevail against the Eagles in this match-up.
