Randy’s Pick

The Virginia Tech Hokies are going through a bit of a down year as the offense is extremely limited, and the defense can’t stop the run. The Boston College Eagles have issues of their own, but they’ve run into five straight wins. Boston College has the 11th best rushing offense and the 18th best passing defense. BC plays to its strengths and knows how to win games even if they’re ugly. I’m kind of surprised this line is this soft. Give me the Boston College Eagles and the small chalk for a sixth straight win.
