Sporting News: Florida State 34, Boston College 20
Bill Bender writes: “Florida State is coming off a shocking Week 0 loss to Georgia Tech, and Boston College is pressing reset with first-year coach Bill O’Brien. The Seminoles should have more down-field opportunities with DJ Uiagalelei in this game, especially if Hykeem Williams returns. This spread looks high considering the Eagles lost 31-29 last season in a game where quarterback Thomas Castellanos had 305 passing yards and 95 rushing yards. The Eagles will try to copy-cat Georgia Tech, but the Seminoles will pull away in the fourth quarter.”

Shane Mickle writes: “This is more of a stay away game at this point for me, but after what I saw with Florida State in the first game, I don’t trust them. Florida State struggled to slowdown Haynes King, and they are going to struggle to slowdown Castellanos here. Boston College’s offense is going to find success against Florida State, and that will be the difference here, as Boston College is going to find success. Back Boston College against the spread.”
Picks and Parlays: Florida State 27, Boston College 10
Kim Smith writes: “Florida State is heavily favored in this game here. However, the Seminoles are going to have their hands full in the game here. The Eagles are bringing back the leader of their offense while the Seminoles have to find their leaders still. Look for that to make all the difference in this game as Florida State does win the game, but is unable to cover the 20.5 point mark.”

It writes: “Last season the Eagles gave the Seminoles one of the toughest games of the season, with FSU holding off a surging Boston College and Thomas Castellanos. The dual-threat ability of Castellanos gave the FSU defense trouble last year, but this year the defense is able to keep up with the crafty Castellanos and hold on for the win. A dominant running game takes the Seminoles’ offense over the edge, with Roydell Williams and Lawrance Toafili shining.”
