Game outlook

Virginia Tech is on the road playing Boston College at the Silvio O. Conte Forum stadium on Wednesday, 12/21/2022 @ 6:30pm EST. Virginia Tech -9 was the opening favorite and line hasn't moved.

The Virginia Tech Hokies (11-1, 6-6 ATS, 5-7 O/U) face the Boston College Eagles (6-6, 3-9 ATS, 5-7 O/U) in an ACC matchup on Wednesday. On Saturday, the Hokies extended their winning streak against Grambling State. After a slide, the Eagles won against Stonehill. Last season, Boston College won 68-63 at home.

Sixth consecutive victory for the Hokies

The #21 Virginia Tech Hokies are one of the hottest teams in the ACC. Six consecutive victories for Virginia Tech have been fueled by consistent scoring. Their ACC opener was a big 80-72 win over the Tar Heels. Since then, the Hokies have beaten Dayton and Oklahoma State. In a 74-48 win over Grambling State at home on Saturday, they were huge 19-point favorites. Four straight games have been covered by them.

Sean Pedulla continues to excel. Having reached 20 points three times this season, the sophomore guard scored 21 points on Saturday. Pedulla averages 17.2 points per game on 48% shooting. The performance of Grant Basile is consistent. Two of his last three games have seen him score at least 13 points and he's averaging 14 points per game and 5.6 rebounds per game. A tough opponent to contain down low is Justyn Mutts. Three of the senior forward's last four games have seen him make at least 56% of his field goals, with an average of 12.8 points and 7.9 rebounds.

The slide at Boston College comes to an end

It's encouraging to see the Boston College Eagles back in the win column. Last time out, they defeated non-DI opponent Stonehill 63-56 to snap a four-game losing streak. Even though they were 13-point favorites, the victory was uninspiring. It has been an inconsistent season for Boston College. Despite losing to Maine and New Hampshire, they have struggled against power conference opponents. In three consecutive games, the Eagles failed to cover the spread.

In three of his last four matches, Jaeden Zackery has scored double digits. With an average of only 11.3 points per game on poor 37% shooting, the sophomore guard has surpassed the team leader in scoring. In four consecutive bouts, Makei-Ashton-Langford has scored nine or fewer points. With a field goal percentage of 38.8%, the senior guard has averaged 10.6 points per game. It has been a good year for CJ Penha Jr. He has increased his season average to 10.3 PPG on 52.6% shooting after scoring 15 points last time out.

Virginia Tech Hokies have won six straight games. During that time, they beat North Carolina by eight points and Dayton by 28 points. Boston College hasn't looked good lately. Over the last five games, they have lost four and won only one. Their only win was against a non-DI team. Moreover, these ACC combatants have a vastly different offensive style. Averaging 113.5 points per 100 possessions, the Hokies outscored Boston College by 97.3 points. Since the Eagles have been playing, they have averaged 63 points per game. Nebraska, Duke, and Villanova have all been defeated by double digits by them this season.

Virginia Tech Highlights

With a power ranking of 6, Virginia Tech is ranked #110 in offense (scoring an average of 76.45 per game), #71 in defense (allowing an average of 63.64 points to be scored against them per game) and are 11-1 (6-6 ATS) this season.

Boston College Highlights

Boston College Eagles has a power ranking of 322 and are #339 for offense (scoring an average of 63.83 per game), #132 for defense (giving up an average of 63.64 points per game) and 6-6 (3-9 ATS) overall. Virginia Tech went 3-0 (3-0 ATS) in their last 3 matchups against Boston College.
