I was hoping Boston College would be a 3-point favorite or less, but I still like the line at 4'. Going to wait to see if line moves, but I'd buy the half point and take it at 4 if I had to right now.
I didn't see any of State's game against S Miss but watched S Miss tonight and they seem a little one dimensional on offense. State had to rally hard to beat them.
State matches up great with Florida State. Its basically the same program. Thugs vs. Thugs. A lot of talent on both, but no disciipline, and FSU plays right into State's defense. They don't run any misdirection or traps, or screens (or not many). They just play talent vs. talent, lets see who's better. State has a lot of talent/athleticisim, especially on defense.
Also, I see a letdown by State. Florida State is there biggest rival. Not the fans. But the players. They are all from Florida and want to show that they shouldn't have been overlooked by the Big 3 down there, etc.
Boston College made a lot of mistakes in losing to UNC. UNC played well, but BC had several uncharacteristic penalties that were huge. State on the road 2nd week in a row and BC back at home after losing to UNC.
BC will confuse State's defense, which FSU didn't even try to. State's D can be confused very easily and they overpursue like crazy. Not to mention just dumb penalties, way too aggressive, late hits, offsides, you name it. BC way more disciplined.
Anyway, I think everything adds up for a BC win and cover. Look for BC to win by at least a TD and take BC -5 1/2 or better. I may also put a little on the ML as well.
