The Florida State Seminoles are the more talented team, but they still have issues with consistency on both sides of the ball. FSU is also coming off a big win over rival Miami, so a potential look ahead spot here. The Boston College Eagles seem to be back on track after back to back wins, and they have a physical defense that’s ranked third against the pass. Likely an ugly, low scoring game, but I just trust Boston College more. I’ll lay the small chalk.
