Boston College Eagles vs. Virginia Tech Hokies Prediction

I’m on Boston College here. The Eagles have stunk for the better part of conference play, but this is just a huge number to lay with a Virginia Tech team that’s played in close games against lesser teams all season long. The Hokies are the better team but I think BC hangs in this one and keeps it close. Give me Boston College.
