Boston College Opens As A 27 Point Road Dog At Florida State

The Wynn Las Vegas has installed Boston College as a 27 point road underdog at Florida State this weekend. The Eagles are getting the most points on a college football gambling line since Boston College got 27 points for a November 1997 game at Syracuse. You have to go back to 1990 to find a game where BC was a bigger underdog -- November 1990 vs. Miami where the Eagles got 35 points.

Florida State (5-1) is coming off a 17-16 loss at N.C. State. Both BC and Florida State are just 1-4-0 against the spread this season, though Florida State is a perfect 4-0 at home and Boston College an imperfect 0-2 on the road. The Eagles have covered three of the last four spreads against the Seminoles.

Here are the lines from the last seven matchups in the ACC series:

2011: Florida State 38, Boston College 7 (FSU -14.5)
2010: Florida State 24, Boston College 19 (BC +21.5)
2009: Boston College 28, Florida State 21 (BC +3.5)
2008: Boston College 27, Florida State 17 (BC +7)
2007: Florida State 27, Boston College 17 (FSU +6.5)
2006: Boston College 24, Florida State 19 (BC +7)
2005: Florida State 28, Boston College 17 (FSU -1)

In other week seven college football lines, Maryland is a 2.5 point road dog at Virginia, North Carolina is a 5 favorite on the road at Miami and Duke is an 8.5 point underdog at Virginia Tech. Clemson, Georgia Tech, N.C. State and Wake Forest all have the week off this week.
