Randy’s Free Pick
The Boston College Eagles are a bad team that’s getting worse, and I doubt they can flip the script against one of the best teams in the country. The Virginia Cavaliers win in the favorite role by an average of 10.6 points. I just don’t have much confidence in Boston College to find offensive success. Give me the Cavs.
