Boston College vs Georgia Tech Prediction
Georgia Tech and its quality offense should have a field day against a BC defense that 125th in total defense and 128th in scoring defense. Georgia Tech has covered 6 of its last 9 games. There are not a lot of reasons to consider Boston College in this spot. However, it is senior night for a Boston College roster that has 29 seniors. Boston College has also covered 10 of its last 15 games as a double-digit underdog. If there was a game for Boston College to get up for and compete one last time, it’s this one. Senior night, ranked team. I’ll take a shot with the points.
