The Florida St. Seminoles are favored by about two touchdowns against the Boston College Eagles. Might not seem like a lot when you consider we're talking about the preseason ACC favorite against a team with only one conference win through eight games.
Florida State Vs. Boston College: Short Week Hurts FSU’s Chances?
But remember FSU had to travel more than 1,000 miles for this matchup on a short week, and that the Boston temperature should be nearing the 40s before the 8 pm ET kickoff time.

Thursday night on short rest! These are never easy. BC should have a much better offense this year to accompany a typically excellent defense.
