Boston College vs. Georgia Tech Pick
Boston College vs. Georgia Tech Spread Pick
- Georgia Tech -6.5 (4 units)
Boston College got back over the .500 mark with their win over Le Moyne but the fact remains that the team has some issues. The Eagles are a struggling offensive team and a closer look at their resume shows that they are mediocre at best. Boston College has five of their seven wins over teams ranked 248th or worse in the KenPom rankings on the year. The Eagles are 1-1 on the road, beating Temple while losing to Florida Atlantic. Georgia Tech is a solid 9-1 at home on the year with eight of those wins coming by double figures on the year. The Yellow Jackets played Duke tough in Cameron and they should take care of business at home against a weak Boston College squad.
