Virginia Tech Hokies vs. Boston College Eagles Prediction

I’m on the Hokies in this one. I just think this is a situation where James Franklin’s historical issues have been when his teams have had to take the step up in class and this right here is not that. Boston College barely got by Maine and Rutgers and could easily be 0-3. I think Virginia Tech goes on the road and takes care of business here so give me the Hokies.
