Boston College at Virginia picks and predictions
Prediction
Boston College 27, Virginia 21
Moneyline
PASS.
While not by much, the Virginia (-115) spread has better value.
Against the spread
BET VIRGINIA -1 (-110).
Virginia is coming off a week of rest and playing at home, which will give it the advantage in a close matchup Saturday. The Cavaliers have scored 31 or more points in 3 of their 4 games this season and face a Boston College team that has scored 23 or fewer in each of its last 3. BC edged past Western Kentucky last week after a lackluster performance, something it will not be able to do against Virginia.
Over/Under
BET UNDER 52.5 (-110).
The Eagles have hit the Under in each of their last 3 games and scored 23 or fewer points while allowing 20 or fewer in 2 straight. Virginia has hit the Under in 2 of its 4 games this season. While this should be an action-packed game, the Under has the best value.
