Boston College vs. Florida State Best bets: Odds, predictions, recent stats, and trends for September 2

Still smarting from a Week 0 loss to Georgia Tech, Florida State welcomes the Eagles of Boston College to Tallahassee for the Week 1 finale in college football. The Seminoles lost 24-21 to the Yellowjackets last week in Dublin, Ireland. FSU struggled offensively putting up only 291 yards to go along with those 21 points.

This is the 1st game of the season for Boston College. The Eagles finished 2023 a respectable 7-6 but lost Head Coach Jeff Hafley to the NFL (new defensive coordinator of the Green Bay Packers). Bill O’Brien takes over in Chestnut Hill. O’Brien has been the head coach at Penn State and Houston (NFL) and also worked as an assistant coach with the Alabama Crimson Tide and the New England Patriots.

No bet from me, but after what we saw from FSU in Ireland, it’s hard to imagine they win by more than two touchdowns.”

Vaughn Dalzell (@VmoneySports) likes FSU…at least early.
We’ve got different schemes, new coaches at BC…I can’t trust that. So, I’m actually going Florida State 1st Quarter -3.5…I think that Florida State comes back home and gets the chop going early.”
