Well, I want to get a head start on college football this week and jump on a play, I think cruises before we see any line movement throughout the week. The No. 3 Florida State Seminoles are visiting the Boston College Eagles in a non-conference matchup, and I think this one could be a blood bath.

Florida State vs. Boston College Prediction
I know it is a mismatch, and any average Joe would notice that, but I really do not think that they stand a chance of even making it look like they can stop this Seminoles offense. In the first two games of the season, FSU has already combined for 1048 yards, 7.76 YPP, and 14 touchdowns.
They wiped the floor with LSU in week one and took care of business easily and as expected last week against Southern Miss. The defense conceded too many yards for my liking in week one against LSU, but all good defensive units improve week-to-week, and despite the drop off in the level of competition, they did look stronger against Southern Miss as they routed the Golden Eagles 66-3.
I know this is a home game for Boston College, and I can see why they would be motivated to try and shock the world, or at least keep this close, against the Seminoles, but I do not think they can. They 100% lack the firepower to put up the points necessary to outscore FSU, so for this game to stay close, the defense needs to go to work.
They conceded 27 points in their loss to Northern Illinois in Week 1 and 28 last week in their win over Holy Cross. Those offenses are nothing compared to the Seminoles, and I expect Mike Novell's squad to bury them with offense this week in arguably an easier matchup than they had last week when they dropped 66. They put 45 up on LSU as well, so yeah, I am going to bite on this one.
