Boston College at Virginia Tech Pick For 10/17/2024

On Thursday, October 17, the Virginia Tech Hokies will host the Boston College Eagles in ACC football action. Both teams are coming off of their bye weeks and are looking to move above the .500 mark in conference play in this game. The Hokies are favored by 6.5 points, while the total for the game stands at 48.5. In our college football picks for Week 8 of the season, we break down Boston College vs Virginia Tech from Blacksburg.

Can Boston College Rebound From First ACC Loss?

The last time we saw the Boston College Eagles, they suffered their first loss in the ACC for the season. They lost 24-14 to the Virginia Cavaliers, struggling to sustain drives on offense in a game where they lost the turnover battle 3-0. The Eagles have struggled offensively over the last month or so, averaging just 19.75 points per game over their last four games, going 2-2 over that stretch. If BC can’t get things moving offensively in this contest, they could be in for a second straight conference loss.

Virginia Tech Hoping For Another Decisive Victory

This season, the Virginia Tech Hokies are 3-3 overall and 1-1 in ACC competition. Virginia Tech has struggled in their close games this season and has flourished in all of their games that have not been close. The Hokies are 0-3 in games decided by a touchdown or less and 3-0 in games decided by more than a touchdown. If this game is close, that trend could be in the back of the minds of the Hokies down the stretch.

Boston College vs Virginia Tech Betting Pick

Our best bet for Boston College vs Virginia Tech is for Boston College to cover the spread as a 6.5-point underdog. With Virginia Tech’s issues closing close games this year, Boston College should be able to hang around here. For those that are brave enough, Boston College might be a value play as a moneyline underdog as well.
