FSU football hopes to travel to Boston College on Saturday for its noon kickoff if Hurricane Lee doesn’t affect things too much.

I keep checking the weather, and tropical storm-force winds could extend up to 300 miles from the storm’s center, which means rain and likely some gusting winds if the game happens at the scheduled time.

FSU will go into the game as 26-point betting favorites, with a points total of 49.5. Those odds imply a 38-12 FSU victory.

Listen, Boston College is a bad team. It’s a program FSU smoked last year and beat in 2021 in Alumni Stadium.

The Eagles have only managed to beat the Noles once since Bobby Bowden retired after the 2009 season, in 2017, when that team quit on Jimbo Fisher in a 35-3 loss. It’s a team with a lot of new faces, new coordinators, and new quarterback.

However, Boston College lost to Northern Illinois as -8 betting favorites, and nearly lost to Holy Cross as -10.5 betting favorites last week. Here are three things you need to know.
