5 Bold Predictions For Boston College vs. FSU

Florida State Football Karlos Williams — The Florida State Seminoles come back home and take their better-late-than-never style of play against a Boston College team that’s leveled giants before. Can the Eagles be the team to terminate the Seminoles' chance at a repeat National Championship? Or will Florida State continue its march toward Arlington and the College Football Playoff?

Boston College Football Celebrates Touchdown — The Seminoles have trailed in the first half in five of their 10 games this season. Look for this odd trend to continue, since Boston College has had an extra week to prepare after sitting idle while FSU battled Miami.

Lane Florida State Football Touchdown copy — Through 10 games, Florida State has outscored opponents 204-101 in the second half. The Seminoles epitomized that trend last week, going on a 20-3 surge against Miami in the final 30 minutes. Look for more of the same in the comforts of Doak Campbell Stadium this Saturday afternoon.

2. Tyler Murphy Will Throw More Picks Than Touchdowns

Tyler Murphy Boston College Quarterback — Tyler Murphy currently stands at nine touchdowns against 10 interceptions on the year. Although Murphy doesn’t throw the ball as often as his contemporaries, he doesn’t throw it carefully either. Coming off a four-pick performance two weeks ago against Louisville, I see Florida State giving him similar problems, and will force him to throw an additional two interceptions against just one touchdown.

Jimbo Fisher Florida State Football Head Coach — This game will be interesting for the first two quarters, but look for Florida State to take a week off from the drama and put Boston College away early in the 4th. It won’t be such a wide margin that Jameis Winston will get the last few possessions off, but it won’t be a nail-biter either. After the game, count on Jimbo Fisher to comment on FSU's College Football Playoff ranking.
