The Boston College Eagles will look to extend the nation's longest active bowl winning streak to nine on Wednesday in Nashville's Music City Bowl, while the Vanderbilt Commodores hope to erase a dismal second half with just their second bowl victory in school history.

Vanderbilt was college football's surprise story early this year, winning its first five games (all ATS) and looking like they would cruise to their first bowl bid since 1982. Vanderbilt then lost its next four games before finally becoming bowl eligible on Nov. 15.

The Commodores have scored more than 14 points just once in their last eight games and rank 113th nationally with 122.8 passing yards per game.

BC, who is favored by 4 points, leads the nation with 26 interceptions. Five of the interceptions have been returned for touchdowns, tied for the most in the Bowl Subdivision.

The Eagles have won the only two previous meetings between these schools in 1962 and 1963.
