The Quick Lane Bowl appears to be an even matchup in almost every sense.
Maryland football and Boston College are 87th and 88th, respectively, in Bill Connelly’s S&P+ rankings, which give each team a 50 percent chance of winning. Each comes in at 6-6, looking to finish the season above .500 far away from home.
The Terps and the Eagles are familiar opponents. They’ve played 11 times, though only some seniors were around for the last time they lined up against each other in 2013, a 29-26 BC victory. Monday’s game at Ford Field in Detroit could be just as close.
