Sporting 'Noles: Examining FSU-Boston College from a Fantasy perspective

While we didn’t have a proper article up for last week’s proceedings, if you are a member of Warchant and were hunting the message boards last week, you didn’t just see picks. You saw one-way tickets to the pay window known as PrizePicks.com.

(We’re not actually gloating that much. The Jashaun Corbin prop of 67.5 yards hit by the minimum, as a one-yard gain on the final drive put the Seminoles’ running back at 68 rushing yards for the game. If you didn’t think 4th-and-14 was gripping enough, how about that?)

Now fresh off rivalry euphoria, Florida State heads to the ever-blasé atmosphere of Chestnut Hill to take on Boston College. The atmosphere doesn’t mean the game itself -- and the key numbers below -- won’t be exciting.

Recap:

Miami Week: 3-0

Season Record: 14-5

Props, commence!

The take: Last week's graphic from the Warchant Postgame Show -- which you can catch here 10-15 minutes after the game -- said it all: “Health Matters.” A healthy Jordan Travis added all the elements of doubt necessary for Florida State to top the 30-point plateau.

Travis racked up 336 yards of combined offense (62 on the ground) and two rushing touchdowns. Boston College doesn’t defend the run all that well this season. If the ‘Noles keep to a run/pass split that heavily favors the team’s legs over its hands, we like Travis to go North of this number by a healthy margin.

Verdict: Over

The take: An interesting number, considering the 6-foot-5 Phil Jurkovec is a pocket-passing quarterback by trade. But if you look beyond his bulky frame, the Eagle signal-caller has eclipsed 60 rushing yards every time he’s played meaningful snaps this season. What gives Sporting ‘Noles pause from mashing the over? The opponents were Colgate, Virginia Tech and Georgia Tech. We lean on Seminole sacks to counterbalance big gainers on the ground here.

Verdict: Under

The take: If you like trash-talking receivers who are absolute pests, Zay Flowers is near and dear to your heart. The 5-foot-10 target is quite the talker before and after most any play and has some talent to back it up. Flowers has eclipsed the 76-yard mark just three times this season, but the Fort Lauderdale native has done it in two of Jurkovec’s three full games.

Here’s a matchup to watch for growth from the Seminole secondary. There’s no doubt FSU's corners have seen players as talented (if not more) than Flowers, but can they keep from allowing him to come open deep down the field? We say BC hits at least one shot, greatly aiding Flowers’ chances of racking up an over.

Verdict: Over
