Virginia Tech has the horses to blow the doors off here, but this is a lot of points. Virginia Tech is 1-3 ATS when favorites of 7.5 or more points, and Boston College loses in the underdog role by an average of just 5.6 points. BC loses a lot but competes most nights. I’ll take a shot with the boatload of free points.
