Virginia Tech Hokies vs. Boston College Eagles Prediction

I’m on the under here. I think that this is just a low-scoring game, not because of stellar defense, but because i don’t trust BC’s offense in this game and I think that the Eagles could get shut down by the Hokies defensively. On the flipside, Virginia Tech’s been known to run it up against bad teams but I think this one still finds a way to stay under the number.
