Leading up to the first of two Atlantic Division road games, Editor R. Cory Smith spoke with Boston College beat writer Rich Thompson about the matchup.

Whether it was the Eagles' massive turnaround since a 2-4 start, A.J. Dillon's success at tailback or the potent defense, Thompson touched on a little bit of everything in the Pregame Podcast. Also a beat writer for the Patriots, Thompson shared his thoughts on a former Wolfpack player making a huge impact for New England since exiting Raleigh.
