The Under has conceded 4 times in a row for the Eagles and in all 5 games against FBS opponents.

Boston College at Virginia Tech tips and predictions

forecast

Virginia Tech 26, Boston College 20

Money line

Virginia Tech (-275) will set you back 2.75x potential return. That is simply far too expensive for a single bet. If you put the Hokies in a multi-leg game, that would be fine.

Boston College (+225) is a tempting play as the Eagles have the better record. However, Va. Tech is 3-1 in their last 4 head-to-head meetings.

HAPPEN.

Against the spread

BOSTON COLLEGE +7.5 (-115) is worth a look to capture the points, especially if you can get it with 7 and a tick – or maybe more.

While Virginia Tech is 3-1 ATS in their last four games in this series and 3-1 ATS in their last four games overall, the Hokies are 0-2 ATS in two tries at Lane Stadium.

Over/Under

UNDER 48.5 (-110) is the skinny, but go with a Half-unit game maximum.

The Under has scored in 3 of the last 4 meetings in this series, while the score is 6-3 in the last 9 duels. Additionally, the Under has cashed in three straight games at Virginia Tech.

Boston College has also lost four straight totals while going a perfect 5-for-5 against FBS opponents this season.

The Under came into the money in the Hokies' last game – at Stanford – and is 1-1 in 2 of their 2 home games this season.
