4. Virginia Tech at Boston College – Sat, Oct 31, 12:30 PM ET

Point Spread: VT – 2.5

This should be moved to a primetime window to air on TV because this horror show is too early to air when children could be subjected to the nightmare that is watching these two teams in broad daylight. On Halloween, this would be best served in between showings of Friday the 13th and Nightmare on Elm Street.

Would that make Frank Beamer the hockey masked-wearing undead killer Jason Voorhees and Steve Addazio as Freddy Kruger?

Boston College’s defense is ridiculous right now. They have the No. 2 total defense in the nation, allowing 217.4 yards per game and the No. 3 scoring defense, allowing an average of 11.8. The Eagles offense has been decimated by injuries and weren’t exactly prolific to begin with so I think this could be a very low scoring game that turns on a Boston College defensive touchdown to give BC a 10-6 win.
