Once upon a time, Boston College was a consistent top 20 program. But over the past decade College Football betting mediocrity set in. First-year head coach Jeff Hafley is changing that. Ohio State’s former defensive coordinator has impressed after one month in charge. Immediate improvement has caught the fancy of gamblers. And a close loss to top ten North Carolina sparks hopes for the future. Now comes another tough test for BC at Virginia Tech. So too did the Hokies have a strong 2020 start. Despite a laundry list of missing players and coaches.
