AAA's 10* Afternoon ACC TOTAL OF MONTH (THIS IS THE BIG ONE!)
(NCAAF) Boston College vs. Virginia Tech,
Total: 40.00 | -105.00 Under
Result: Win
This is a 10* ACC TOTAL OF THE MONTH on the OVER between Boston College and Virginia Tech.

Setting the scene: If you can get 42 or better, then we love this play as we look for these two normally offensively challenged schools to open up the playbook this afternoon and for this total to comfortably fly above the posted number as the game comes down the stretch.

Boston College: The Eagles evened their record at 1-1 in last week's 26-7 win over UMass. BC lost its conference opener to Georgia Tech in Ireland, so will be seeking to move to .500 in league play. Last week the Eagles forced three turnovers and held a 344-122 edge in total yards in the victory. Note that the offense averages 20 PPG, while the defense (so far), has allowed just 12 PPG.

Virginia Tech: The Hokies will be looking to take out their frustrations today after getting hammered 45-24 at the hands of No. 17 Tennessee last weekend. Last week VT actually held a 14-0 lead at one point, but then was outscored 45-10 the rest of the way. The Hokies also won the yardage battle by a 400-330 edge. Five turnovers was the biggest difference in the end. The offense looks good, the numbers rank the unit right in the middle of the pack nationally.

The bottom line: The Eagles are strong defensively, but are out to prove that they can finally put points on the board as well. VT's defense looked susceptable last weekend and we think BC will take some shots. We're also expecting the home side to put the foot on the gas while on offense so as to wear down the Eagles' strong defensive unit. In our professional opinion, this number is just a little bit low. Play the OVER.
