BC is playing better than expected. I goto BC and follow them really closely my whole life. Let me tell you that betting on BC football is tough because they are very inconsistent. Their defense has to play extremely well and must create turnovers. The offense cant make any mistakes to VT and give them good field position. 

Tempted to take BC and the points but they could blow up on the road at Lane.

My book has BC getting 14 points and I just can't pass that up.  I know Virginia Tech is good at home, but the defense is not as good as in the past.  I think as long as that BC QB doesn't turn the ball over this should be an easy cover.  They might even win this outright.

I think if Tech comes out like they did against Miami B.C is in for a very long day. Score prediction something like 27-10

It's interesting.  Last week UNC was favored by 13 over Virginia and were -800 on the Money Line.
 
This week Virginia Tech is favored by 14 over BC but only are -550 on the Money Line.
 
Someone explain that one.

I'm real curious to see the B.C. injury report that the A.C.C. mandates they update on Thursday. Their Lb's are beat all to hell. If they sit or are hobbled; that could open things up for R.Will to hit some long runs.

I like Ryan Williams.  Very good RB.  He will be playing on Sundays.

14 pts is a lot -- not that VT can't possibly cover it.  I took them on a teaser, along with Wisconsin (at Ohio St) both pushed up to 24.5, and Ga Tech +13 at Fla St.

My parquet people tell me that B.C. has all but one of thier walking wounded practicing. Weather.com tells me that it might be very wet on Saturday.

N/p for me right now.
Need to firm all of that up as I may have to move off of a side and onto a total.

Take VA TECH ML if you have a large enough bank roll.  Otherwise, this has got to be extemely tough to lay that kind of chalk even being at home in Lane Stadium where it will be rockin'.

That BC injury report isn't too pretty but I remember betting against teams that looked as if they were gonna have to throw pads on the cheerleaders and lost before though more of that happened on the hardwood. I'll still take a shot here because 2 TDs are 2 TDs -- EAGLES +13.5

VA TECH does not blow teams out. BC+ 2 TDs is too good to pass up. I was impressed with them last week. Going to buy half a point just in case. Larger play than normal for me on an ACC game. GLTA
 
BOSTON COLLEGE +14 (3.5 units)

It seems to easy to take Boston College.  I mean they have beaten VT the last three times during the regular season and they are getting two touchdowns.  Even Robert Smith on ESPN called it his upset pick of the week. 
 
I am not sure of what to make of VT.  But I will say one thing, they are battle tested. 
 
Personally I am smelling a blowout here.  I think VT rolls. 
 
Something like 38 to 20.

I like VT-13.5 Seems like Vegas wants everyone to gobble up the points. I can see VT getting up and then leaning on them the second half with the defense.

Does seem like a lot of points but I really like VT here.

-13.5
