How to make Florida State vs. Boston College picks

SportsLine’s model has simulated Boston College vs. FSU 10,000 times and is going Under on the total (147.5 points). Both squads have heavily leaned under this season, with FSU seeing the Under go 14-11. However, Boston College has seen the total not reached in 16 of 25 games, for a 64% clip. Just five teams across the Power Conferences have seen the Under hit more often than BC in 2025-26.

The Noles are coming off a victory, which is relevant as they tend to engage in low-scoring affairs after a win. The Under has a 9-2 record for FSU after a victory. For Boston College, it just happens to have the lowest-scoring offense in the ACC, while it also allows the fourth-fewest points per game in the conference. Thus, you can see why the Eagles trend under so often, as the total isn’t reached in 59% of simulations.

The model also says one side of the spread hits almost 60% of the time. You can only see that pick at SportsLine.
