Boston College at Virginia Tech: College Football Predictions and Odds

Week 6 college football odds for Saturday will include a critical ACC matchup from Lane Stadium in Blacksburg, VA as the #5 Virginia Tech Hokies host the Boston College Eagles. Kickoff for this match-up is set for 12 noon eastern time and the game can be viewed on ESPN360.com. Virginia Tech opened up as a 13.5-point home favorite in week 6 college football predictions for this match-up with a total set at 44.5. The Boston College Eagles have proven to be one of the more resilient teams in college football betting.

They are playing for their 3rd head coach in 4 years and yet continue to win. BC enters this matchup with a record of 4-1 straight up and 3-1 against the college football lines. Last week BC defeated the college football predictions as 3.5-point home dogs when they beat Florida State 28-21. Star running back Montel Harris broke a 21-21 tie with a 42 yard touchdown run with 4:07 remaining in the game to get the cash. Harris is BC’s leading rusher with 453 yards and 4.7 yards per carry average with 5 touchdowns. Rookie head coach Frank Spaziani has done a stellar job in taking over a program that was reeling after the firing of previous head coach Jeff Jagodzinski, who got the axe for flirting with the New York Jets.

Spaziani has been the rock of BC football as he has coached at Chestnut Hill for 13 years and was defensive coordinator before taking the head coach position last winter. He inherited a young team that is still building momentum in many sports handicappers' college football predictions. “I think what helps is success,” said Spaziani. “That obviously helps the learning curve.” The defending ACC champion Virginia Tech Hokies are 4-1 straight up and 2-3 against the college football lines. Last week the Hokies scored their 4th consecutive straight up win at Duke 34-26 as they failed to cover the college football odds as 17-point favorites.

These two teams met twice last season with each team earning a payout. BC defeated Tech 28-23 on October 18 as 3-point home favorites before the Hokies got revenge in the ACC Championship Game on December 6 with a 30-12 win as 1-point dogs. The Hokies have become something of an overlay at home as they have covered just 4 out of their last 13 home games as a favorite. BC has covered the college football odds in 5 out of their last 7 trips to Lane Stadium.

Franklin's College Football Picks: The sports handicappers and sportsbooks are pegging the Hokies in their college football predictions for this week 6 game on ESPN360 but I'm not just any capper! My college football prediction is that the Eagles will be up to the challenge but just to be safe; take BC plus the points on the road to the OVER.
