Georgia Tech vs Boston College Prediction

Boston College won the last game but it took a big second half to get the job done. Boston College got out to a slow start in that game and it’s going to be much of the same here. Georgia Tech on the other hand is going to get out to a fast start with the offense, and that is going to end up being enough. Boston College’s defense isn’t going to make enough stops to get the job done. Back Georgia Tech against the spread here.
