Against the spread (ATS)
Boston College is 5-1 ATS in its last five road games. FSU is 5-1 ATS in its last six at home. The Eagles are dealing with a lot of injuries, and this game could get into the deep part of both benches for long stretches in the second half.
For the ‘Noles, this game is wedged between a hard-fought loss at UNC and a an impending important road game at Notre Dame. The talented home five may well win this game by 22, but a 17-point win would not be the slightest surprise.
PASS.
Over/Under (O/U)
The best option for this contest is a wait-and-see on the total. Both teams play a high-tempo game, but if this tag would get a tad higher there would be room for profit in shading the Under.
TAKE THE UNDER 154.5 (-110); look for a total of 156 to find some leverage.
