Eagles
Virginia Tech's recent momentum meets Boston College's home court in a pivotal ACC clash
Grade B+: Virginia Tech Moneyline (-120)

The Hokies are set to face the Eagles in a critical ACC matchup. Virginia Tech, led by forward Tobi Lawal's 13.3 points and 6.9 rebounds per game, has shown improvement, securing wins against Florida State and a narrow victory over Virginia. In contrast, Boston College, with guard Donald Hand Jr. averaging 16.5 points and 6.5 rebounds, has struggled, recording only one win since January 1st. The Eagles' defense has been porous, allowing 75.3 points per game, which could be exploited by the Hokies' offense. Additionally, Virginia Tech's defense, conceding 72.6 points per game, will need to contain Hand Jr. to maintain their advantage. Given these factors, betting on Virginia Tech to win outright at -120 odds is advisable. Grade: B+
