The Florida State Seminoles pulled out yet another SU victory in Week 13, squeaking out a 20-17 win over the Boston College Eagles to remain perfect at 11-0 on the season. The Seminoles, however, once again failed to pay off for their supporters with an ATS defeat.
Florida State had been listed as a 17-point favorite against Boston College, but came nowhere close to covering that spread while falling to 3-8 ATS on the season. The Seminoles needed a field goal in the final minute against the Eagles to avoid overtime in Saturday's win.
