The Boston College Eagles (0-0, 0-0 ACC) and Florida State Seminoles (0-1, 0-1) meet at Doak Campbell Stadium Monday. Kickoff is scheduled for 7:30 p.m. ET (ESPN). Below, we analyze FanDuel Sportsbook’s'lines around the Boston College vs. Florida odds, and make our expert college football picks and predictions.
Boston College moves to hire former Penn State and NFL coach Bill O’Brien, as the Eagles try to return to prominence, or at least have some modicum of success. O’Brien is more of an offensive mind, and that part is actually OK for B.C. QB Thomas Castellanos is solid, and RBs Kye Robichaux and Treshaun Ward are a nice start.
However, B.C. had issues on defense last season, allowing 32.6 points per game in conference play. That needs to be buttoned up immediately, as it opens with a conference foe, and an angry one at that.
Florida State, which is No. 10 in the went all the way over to Dublin, Ireland in the very 1st game of the season for any team, and it was upset by Georgia Tech, 24-21. FSU was a 10.5-point favorite and ranked No. 10. The Under (55) ended up cashing, as FSU managed just 98 rushing yards on 31 attempts, and it held Georgia Tech to 146 yards through the air.
