Boston College Eagles at Florida State Seminoles 2010 NCAAF Week 7 Odds, Preview, and Predictions: Bobby Bowden Field at Doak Campbell Stadium in Tallahassee will be rocking Saturday at 12 Noon when the Florida State Seminoles return home hot from a big win in Miami to take on the Boston College Eagles on ESPN. Rookie head football coach Jimbo Fisher has the Noles playing well and ranked No. 21 after waiting years for his turn to take over the team and Hall of Fame Coach Bobby Bowden to retire, which he did reluctantly. Fisher isn’t ready to celebrate yet. “I told them they ain’t accomplished nothing,” Fisher said, after addressing his team Monday. “Still have to win another game to be bowl eligible. All your goals and aspirations are out there. We have not accomplished anything as a football team right now. Except that we’re playing very well.” Vegas odds makers have the Florida State Seminoles a -21 1/2 point favorite at home against the Boston College Eagles.
The Seminoles went on the road to play the then higher ranked Miami Hurricanes and won big 45-17 leaving them 5-1 overall and 3-0 and in first place in the ACC. Senior quarterback Christian Ponder completed 12 for 21 for 173 yards 2 touchdowns and an interception hitting Easterling 4 times for 53 yards. Ponder has never beaten Boston College. The star of the offense was running back Chris Thompson who carried 14 times for 158 yards and a 90 yard touchdown. Florida State is 6-1 SU in its last 7 games and 4-1 this season ATS and except for their loss they are winning by nearly 26 points. Vegas odds makers have the Florida State Seminoles +5000 odds to win the 2011 BCS National Championship.
The Eagles are struggling at 2-3 following a 44-17 loss on the road at North Carolina State. Head football coach Frank Spaziani is looking for help from his 2nd string quarterback since starter David Shinskie has but ruled out due to a concussion.
