ACC Title Game Pick: Boston College Eagles vs. Virginia Tech Hokies; Betting Line- Pick-em (total 37.5); Television-ABC; Kickoff 1 pm ET; Raymond James Stadium, Tampa, Fla. Betting odds provided by Sportsbook.com.
The ACC will crown its champion today when a winner of the ACC title game emerges between Boston College and Virginia Tech. Boston College won its last five games to take the ACC Atlantic Division crown, and Virginia Tech, with three conference losses, ended up on top in the Coastal. So the 9-3 Eagles and the 8-4 Hokies will meet for the second time in six weeks in Saturday's ACC championship game (1 pm Eastern, ABC) in Tampa. Online super-book Sportsbook.com is listing this game as a pick 'em, with a total of 37.5.
Boston College beat Virginia Tech 28-23 up in Chestnut Hill Oct. 18, a game that featured several big plays, including two Hokies INT return TDs and a BC punt return for a score. But Virginia Tech knocked off Boston College in last year's conference championship game, 30-16.
This game has sort of been lost among the BCS fervor over the Big 12 and SEC championship games but it is still a great match-up and perhaps the best betting match-up of all the league championship games.
Sports-Odds pick: We have to go with Boston College to win over the Hokies a second time. The Eagles have emerged from the regular season as the best team on both sides of the ball.
