Boston College vs. Florida State Prediction
I’m on Boston College here. I get why Florida State’s favored at home, but the Seminoles are sliding right now and while both teams are struggling defensively, I think Boston College has the chops offensively to at least hang around in this game. I’ll take a shot with BC and the points here.
