Virginia Tech vs Boston College Prediction 

Both of these teams are coming off of their bye week, but Virginia Tech comes into this matchup with plenty of momentum and the home field advantage. The Hokies just dominated Stanford in their last game and they played very well against a good Miami team prior to that. Virginia Tech struggled to start the season, but I like how they are playing right now. Boston College hasn’t played great over their last four games and their offense has struggled over that span. I do like the Boston College quarterback, but I am taking Virginia Tech to cover at home.
