FLORIDA vs BOSTON COLLEGE PREDICTION

The Gators have been dealing with Covid issues and rescheduling issues so now they land themselves in Bubbleville to face the Eagles who have been there for a week and are starting to feel at home. The Eagles have faced tough competition in Villanova, Rhode Island, and St. Johns while the Gators struggled to beat a poor Army team in their first game. The Gators have also not been able to practice much because of all their restrictions so they will not be well-prepared for Boston College in this one. The Eagles have proven they can score and should have no problem keeping this game close. The Bookie is rolling with Boston College to cover the 7 point spread and POSSIBLY WIN OUTRIGHT in a high scoring game that should also go OVER the total.
