Boston College vs Virginia Tech Prediction
Last time out, Boston College suffered a tough 22-21 home loss to Rutgers. The Eagles led 21-12 late in the third quarter, but Rutgers made it a one score game late in the quarter and scored the game winning touchdown with under three minutes left in the game. Phil Jurkovec went 23/41 for 283 yards, three touchdowns, and two interceptions in the loss. Defensively, Boston College allowed 322 total yards and forced one Rutgers interception.
Virginia Tech visited Old Dominion and suffered a disappointing 20-17 loss. The Hokies had a chance to close the game out in the fourth but gave up a touchdown with 33 seconds left to open the season with a loss. Grant Wells was terrible as he went 21/36 for 193 yards, one touchdown, and four interceptions on the night. Defensively, the Hokies allowed 345 total yards and recovered two Monarchs fumbles.
Series History: Boston College won last season’s meeting, 17-3, but Virginia Tech still holds a 19-11 series advantage.
Pick: Both teams are going to have rough seasons, but only one can start the conference play off with a win. I think the Hokies have some talent, though they did not show it in week one, while Boston College still has a lot of holes on the roster. I am going to back Virginia Tech to cover the spread.
