One of two games involving ranked teams on the same field this week finds a new ACC hopeful squaring off against an SEC contender as Missouri hosts Boston College on Saturday.

Out to a fast 2-0 start after a statement win at Florida State and a thrashing of Duquesne, the Eagles are riding dynamic quarterback Thomas Castellanos, who has 7 all-purpose touchdowns while completing more than 73 percent of his pass attempts.

Missouri is yet to allow a single point in two games against Murray State and Buffalo, but this defense will face a far-tougher test against a Boston College attack that has the targets to spread the field.

Let's take a look at the early game odds and predictions for Boston College vs. Missouri this week.
