Total Line:51
Florida State remain undefeated so far in the 2015 NCAAF season, claiming their second victory over the South Florida Bulls on Saturday night with a 34-14 score. Dalvin Cook, the Seminoles’ star running back once again proved his worth, rushing for 266 yards on 30 carries with three touchdowns. That outcome makes it the second-best rushing game in Florida State history. The Seminoles’ past five games against Boston College have all resulted in victories for Florida State, something which will obviously provide a boost to the team going in to this match.
Following their first two games of the season, Florida State stats show that the team have completed 39 of the 58 attempted passes, with 33 of these coming from Everett Golson, who has also completed five touchdowns. The aforementioned play of Dalvin Cook has contributed to the 87 carries for 544 yards that the team has recorded so far, while wide receiver, Travis Rudolph has been on the receiving end of 10 passes for 99 yards.
Boston College have also claimed their first two victories in the 2015 season, racking up a massive 76-0 victory against the Howard Bison team last Friday. This game also saw the Eagles claim 483 total yards against Howard Bison, with Tyler Rouse leading the way for the team, completing three touchdowns. However, Boston College have a very solid defensive line, who managed to break Howard Bison down to just 11 yards gained. The Eagles will need to try and limit Dalvin Cook in the same way this Friday, although that could be a task easier said than done.
As mentioned, Boston College’s defensive tactics have been stellar this season so far, with 26 receptions for 291 yards recorded. Kickers Alex Howell, Mike Knoll and Jake Wilhelm have all completed 100% of the extra points attempted, garnering a total of 13 across their first two games. Offensively, the Eagles have carried 89 for 551 yards altogether in the 2015 season so far, with 45 long rushes and 10 touchdowns. The aforementioned Rouse as well as Marcus Outlow and Jon Hilliman dedicating 14, 13 and 19 carries to the total of 89.

The Eagles have covered the spread in the last two losing by three a last second field goal as a 17 point dog and in 2013 they lost by 14, but sent their backers home happy as a 24 point underdog. This season the point spread is the lowest we’ve seen since 2009 when the Seminoles were a 3.5 betting favorite but we’re going to bite. Boston College returns only 10 starters, but the new guys have two games under their belt and should be up to the test. Florida State has been a good fade going 3-11 last season ATS.
