UNC vc BC, Saturday, 12:00 noon  

In Atlantic Coast Conference play this weekend, the University of North Carolina Tar Heels play host to the Boston College Eagles. The Tar Heels are currently 5-2 overall and 1-2 in the Coastal Division. The Eagles sit atop the Atlantic Division with a record of 5-1 overall and 2-1 in league play.

The TarHeels lost a heartbreaker in overtime to Virginia last week. Boston College some how overcame 5 turnovers to pull out a victory at home against Virginia Tech. I'll be honest with you, I am a Tar Heel fan, but if BC commits 5 turnovers in Chapel Hill this weekend, it will be a long flight home for the Eagles. Rarely does a team turn the ball over that often and come out with a win, at any level.

Carolina's two loses have come by a total of 6 points. They lost at Virgina Tech (20-17)after leading the entire game and outplaying the Hokies in every category, except the one that counts most. Likewise, the Heels led entire game against Virginia until the Wahoo's scored with less than a minute to play to tie the game at 10 all.

It should be a closely contested game this weekend. Both teams need one more win to become bowl eligible this season. The last time Carolina played in a post season bowl was in 2004, The Continental Tire Bowl in Charlotte, NC. Oddly enough, they lost to none other than Boston College 37-24 that year. Last year the Eagles beat Michigan State in the Champs Sports Bowl, which was played in Orlando, Fla, by a score of 24-21.

I wish both teams good luck this weekend but obviosly I'm pulling for the Heels to pull out the victory.

My prediction: UNC 17 BC 13
