Boston College will have Thomas Castellanos back after he missed last week’s win over Western Kentucky. The offense as a whole has averaged just over 21 points per game over the last three weeks. That tends to wear on a defense especially in conference play where Virginia is coming off a season best forty three points against Coastal Carolina. They also played the Eagles tight last year in what was a three point game. Take the home team to prevail here in Virginia.

Last week, Boston College had an emotional 21-20 come-from-behind win over Western Kentucky, scoring two touchdowns in the final quarter. Despite being out-gained in each of their previous three games (1,163-869), they managed to win their last two. Boston College has a -0.3 net yards per play, while Virginia has a +0.1 this season. Virginia, who has had two weeks to prepare, will be playing with revenge from last year’s 27-24 setback after botching a 14-point lead. This will be the Eagles’ sixth game in 33 days. Tough. I like the Cavaliers in this spot.
