00:02 - Let's take a look, Florida State and Boston College.
00:07 You wanna take a look at a line that's racing here.
00:09 28 and a half down to 26 and a half
00:12 as a favorite for Florida State.
00:13 Look at the total, Ben.
00:15 54 and a half down to 47 and a half.
00:18 Now, the reason I bring this up is typically,
00:20 I'm a weather guy.
00:21 I know there is some weather coming up the East Coast
00:23 with the hurricane off the coast.
00:24 Is that the reason why or do you know
00:26 why we're dropping a full touchdown here as a total?
00:29 Maybe some high winds in the forecast?
00:32 - I don't necessarily know, DRS.
00:34 You're better at weather than I am,
00:35 our resident meteorologist here on the early line.
00:38 I would guess that is probably why,
00:41 which makes what I'm going to say next.
00:43 Maybe not making the card officially for tomorrow
00:45 on college football today,
00:47 but I was looking at the Knowles team total, DRS.
00:49 Over 36 and a half, a number they've gone over
00:52 in each of their opening two games,
00:53 both against FBS foes.
00:55 45, of course, in that incredibly impressive
00:58 opening weekend performance against LSU.
01:01 Backed it up with 66 last week against Southern Miss.
01:05 Boston College, DRS, we were in the car,
01:07 myself and our producer here, Joe Frizzo,
01:09 on the way to CFT for the opening weekend of the year.
01:12 His mother is a Boston College alum.
01:15 He said, "Why is BC only an eight and a half point
01:18 "favorite against Northern Illinois?"
01:20 They lost that game at home, 27-24 against the Huskies.
01:24 And then last week,
01:25 they were only a double digit favorite of 10
01:27 against Holy Cross, an FCS team.
01:29 And they came nowhere close to covering.
01:31 They won 38-28, barely escaping against Holy Cross.
01:36 BC's 0-2 against the spread, DRS as a favorite.
01:39 They allowed 27 against NIU, 28 against Holy Cross.
01:43 I think Florida State names their number,
01:45 but the weather could impact that
01:46 and how long Mike Norvell even keeps his Seminoles
01:49 out there the week before,
01:50 having to go to Clemson in Death Valley next Saturday
01:54 in a game that could already decide the fate of the ACC.
01:57 This year, maybe that's why the number is moving
02:00 and the total is on its way down as well
02:03 for this football game between FSU and BC.
02:06 - Yeah, you're gonna get some winds here.
02:07 I'm looking at about 15 to 18 miles an hour sustained,
02:09 which again is windy, but also, Ben, keep in mind,
02:12 there's no rain in the forecast.
02:13 So as I would like to say at Wrigley Field,
02:16 the wind blowing in, you can still hit singles
02:18 and score a lot of runs.
02:19 So Florida State doesn't have to air it out 50 yards
02:22 at a pop and say, "Why can't we throw it here?"
02:24 But something to keep an eye on.
02:25 Maybe you do get value,
02:26 because also, if you wanna watch
02:28 a great college football show on Saturday
02:30 and get the latest weather information on that,
02:32 you might be getting a steal on that total
02:35 when the boys talk about it tomorrow.
02:36 So we'll have some fun with that.
02:37 The ACC, if we're talking about winning championships here,
02:40 Florida State, minus 110, far and away,
02:42 it looks like in the odds market is picking them.
02:45 Clemson at a five to one price,
02:46 Miami, Florida, plus 750, North Carolina, plus 900.
02:50 Talk to me about Florida State.
02:51 Are they the horse to back here in the ACC race?
