Louisville defeated Boston College 38–24 in a double-digit victory. Boston College covered by 11.5; Game went Over by 7.5. The market closed at Louisville -25.5 and the Blue Chip model made it Louisville -22.8, an edge of 2.7 points toward Boston College.
Boston College forced three turnovers but also committed two interceptions, and their defense allowed 317 rushing yards, including multiple long runs by Isaac Brown (205 yards) and Keyjuan Brown (95 yards). This inability to contain explosive plays was a key factor in the loss.
Quarterback Grayson James threw for 244 yards and three touchdowns with two interceptions, and the offense showed resilience by cutting the lead to 21-17 after a fumble recovery. However, the team's 1-7 record and 0-5 ACC mark highlight ongoing inconsistency.
The loss ends Boston College's two-year bowl streak and extends their losing streak to seven games, the longest since a nine-game skid in 2015-2016. Coach Bill O'Brien acknowledged his coaching shortcomings, indicating a need for significant improvement.
Boston College hosts No. 12 Notre Dame next Saturday. Given their struggles against a strong Louisville rushing attack, they will need to improve run defense and limit turnovers to compete with a ranked opponent.
