Boston College vs Georgia Tech Prediction
Boston College continues to be a middle of the road ACC team that’s not impressing anyone. The defensive effort is there, but Boston College can be painfully bad offensively for stretches. Boston College is also 4-9 ATS on the season and has failed to cover 7 of its last 9 games overall. Georgia Tech is more consistent on both sides of the floor and is 9-1 SU at home. Georgia Tech has covered 4 of its last 5 games. There’s a gap between these teams this season. I’ll lay the points with Georgia Tech.
