Why Missouri can cover
Missouri has not been ranked this high in the AP poll in more than a decade, but it has certainly looked deserving through the first two weeks of the season. The Tigers picked up a 51-0 win over Murray State before beating Buffalo in a 38-0 final. They have racked up a combined 1,007 yards in those two games, allowing them to rest their starters down the stretch.
Quarterback Brady Cook has completed 48 of 67 passes for 456 yards and a touchdown while rushing for 84 yards and three scores. He has been able to compile those impressive numbers even though preseason All-American wide receiver Luther Burden III is off to a quiet start. Wide receiver Theo Wease Jr. stepped up against Buffalo while Burden was limited due to an illness, catching 13 passes for 149 yards. See which team to pick here.
Why Boston College can cover
New Boston College head coach Bill O’Brien is off to a fantastic start, leading the Eagles into the top 25 for the first time since the 2018 season. They opened the campaign with a 28-13 win at then-No. 10 Florida State, and they followed it up with a 56-0 home victory over Duquesne. Dual-threat quarterback Thomas Castellanos has completed 19 of 26 passes for 340 yards and six touchdowns while rushing for 81 yards and a score.
The Eagles have been able to lean heavily on their rushing attack, which has compiled 569 yards and five touchdowns in two games. Treshaun Ward, Kye Robichaux and Turbo Richard have all gone over 100 yards, giving Boston College a balanced ground game.
