Boston College comes into this game off a nice 71-68 home win over NC State, where they jumped out to a seven-point lead at the half and held on for the victory. The win was their third in five games with all three decided by four or fewer points. Against the spread, the Eagles have been a solid bet going 9-6 versus the number and an impressive 6-2 ATS over their last eight.

Boston College at Virginia Prediction 2/19/20
The Eagles have been by far the more profitable team against the spread, and the 11.5 may look appetizing, but there are some games that would suggest that the line may be an underlay. Boston College was blown out in their last road contest by 27 points in Miami and has also been easily dispatched by Wake Forest 82-60 and Syracuse 76-50 in the visitor role. In the previous meeting, the Eagles shot well over their seasonal average hitting 45% from the field, putting up 60 points. That's very unlikely to happen tonight against a Cavs team that allows 48.4 points at home. Look for this game to play out the opposite way of the earlier meeting. Virginia sneaks by the number getting the cover while Boston College scores fewer than 50 sending the total “Under”.
Free Pick:
Take Virginia -11.5 and the Under 114.5
