The Eagles are 0-12-1 ATS in their last 13 March games & 2-4 ATS in their last 6 games vs. Georgia Tech. The Yellow Jackets are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 games & 15-5 ATS in their last 20 March games.

Georgia Tech comes into his game with just a 4-15 conference record, however, despite losing 4 of their last 5 games, the Yellow Jackets have for the most part played better as of late, as outside of their blowout loss at Notre Dame, the Yellow Games lost to Syracuse, Virginia Tech, & Clemson by an average of just 2.7 ppg. Boston College has struggled on both sides of the court this season, ranking just 254^th in scoring offense & 203^rd in scoring defense, and between the fact that the Eagles are just 2-9 on the road and that Georgia Tech defeated Boston College by an 81-76 margin on the road earlier this season, I think Georgia Tech does enough in this one to cover this small home spread. Good Luck!
