Following their loss to Clemson, Vegas has made the Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets an underdog to Boston College.

The Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets opened as four-point underdogs to Boston College for this Saturday’s 4:00 p.m. matchup between the two ACC opponents. The Yellow Jackets (2-3) are coming off a 73-7 loss to the top-ranked Clemson Tigers while Boston College (3-2) was blown out by Virginia Tech 40-14.

Since the line was opened at -4 in favor of Boston College, the line has shifted slightly in favor of the Yellow Jackets with some places having Boston College now as a -3.5 point favorite and others as a -2.5 point favorite. It’s safe to say the public currently thinks the Yellow Jackets will bounce back well following their loss this past weekend.

Against the spread this season, the Yellow Jackets are 2-3 while Boston College is 3-2. The over-under for the game is set at 56.5. The over is 4-1 in the Yellow Jackets’s games this season while for Boston College, that record is flipped to 1-4.

All-time, the Yellow Jackets, and Eagles have met a total of nine times with the last meeting coming in 2016, the Jackets 17-14 victory in Ireland in the Cork Classic. The Jackets have won each of the last three meetings dating back to the 2008 season. The Eagles’ last win over the Jackets came in 2007, a 24-10 victory over the then Chan Gailey led Yellow Jackets in what would be his final season.

Kickoff between the Eagles and Yellow Jackets is scheduled for 4:00 p.m. as previously mentioned with the game being featured on the ACC Network.
