What bets offer the best value when the undefeated Florida State Seminoles host Boston College in Week 4? Check out our Boston College-Florida State picks.

The Seminoles are 3-0 with two exciting road wins over LSU and Louisville. Now, they head home to welcome the 1-2 Boston College Eagles to Tallahassee.

The Eagles have been disappointing this season, with their only win coming over Maine. They may not be able to beat the Seminoles, but can they cover a large spread?

Here are our top picks for the college football Week 4 game between Boston College and Florida State (odds via DraftKings Sportsbook and PointsBet; pick confidence based on a 1-to-5-star scale).  

Boston College vs. Florida State Picks

  • Spread: Boston College +17.5 (-110 via DraftKings)
  • Over/Under:Over 48.5 (-107 via PointsBet)
  • Prop bet:Phil Jurkovec Under 217.5 passing yards (-115 via DraftKings)

Boston College vs. Florida State ATS Pick

Boston College +17.5 (-110) ★★★

The Seminoles have the more impressive wins and much better offensive stats, yet this number is too large.

Last season, these two teams met with very similar units, and the Seminoles picked up a 26-23 road win over the Eagles. That result was consistent with what has happened in this series of late.

The last three meetings between these teams have been decided by one score. There isn’t enough separation between these teams this season to warrant a three-score spread.

Boston College vs. Florida State O/U Pick

Over 48.5 (-110) ★

The total has not moved since opening at 48.5, signaling that this number is exactly where it should be. Florida State should have no problem scoring in at least the 20s, but can the Eagles do enough to push this total Over?

It’s a toss-up, but if forced to pick, take the Over because Florida State will score, and the Eagles have a better chance of adding to the total than the Seminoles have of completely shutting them down.

Boston College vs. Florida State Prop Pick

Jurkovec Under 217.5 passing yards (-115) ★★★

Last season, Phil Jurkovec threw for just 148 yards against the Seminoles. He only has one performance under 200 yards this season, but the Seminoles’ pass defense has been solid.

It held Jayden Daniels to 209 yards passing in Week 2 and allowed just 243 yards from Malik Cunningham in Week 3.

Boston College has struggled to run the ball this season, so the Seminoles’ secondary will be prepared for a one-dimensional approach, making it tough on Jurkovec through the air.
