COLLEGE FOOTBALL

Virginia Tech comes in at 3-0 with a three-game win streak, powered by a passing attack averaging 330.7 yards per game and a defense giving up just 16.7 points per game. Boston College is 2-1 and has scored 21.7 points per game, but the Eagles have allowed 23.7 points per game and just 5.4 yards per play on defense, which leaves little margin against a more efficient opponent. Virginia Tech’s offense has been much more balanced and productive, while Boston College has leaned on a ground game that averages 167.0 rushing yards per game without matching the Hokies’ overall explosiveness.
Virginia Tech looks like the sharper side based on scoring output, yards per game, and defensive consistency. The Hokies have been dominant enough to justify laying the points, and Boston College has not shown enough offensive efficiency to threaten an upset-style cover if Virginia Tech plays near its season average. The projected final score is Virginia Tech Hokies 31, Boston College Eagles 17, which supports a Virginia Tech cover and a game total below the market expectation.
