Thomas Castellanos over 56.5 rushing yards (-114)
Much like Haynes King, Thomas Castellanos is a dynamic quarterback who can utilize his legs for explosive plays. He carried the ball 215 times last season, accumulating more than 1,100 yards and scoring 13 touchdowns. In fact, Castellanos was tied with West Virginia quarterback Garrett Green for the most rushing touchdowns by a quarterback in 2023. He may not run quite as frequently in new coach Bill O’Brien’s system, but he should still be efficient with each carry given his 5.2 yards per attempt in 2023. Castellanos is also very elusive in his small stature, as he forced 50 missed tackles last season. With this game being in Tallahassee, I expect Florida State’s pass rush to be more successful than in Week 0, forcing Castellanos out of the pocket where he can put together big gains with his legs.

Kye Robichaux to score a touchdown (+178)
At 6’0” and 217 lbs, Kye Robichaux is a big-bodied running back who gained more than 3 yards per rush after contact last season. As such, he appears to be the perfect complement to Castellanos in the backfield. He excels at running through the gaps between the tackles and is a great asset to have in goal-line situations. Considering Florida State’s struggles last week against the run and those struggles now being on film for Boston College to study, the Eagles should find themselves in multiple scoring situations where Robichaux’s size and ability to fight for yards will come in handy.

DJ Uiagalelei under 1.5 passing touchdowns (+116)
DJ Uiagalelei’s passing inconsistencies are well-documented and the senior quarterback did not do anything to fix that last week against Georgia Tech. He struggled mightily, accumulating less than 200 yards on 19 completions with the longest being just 21 yards. Furthermore, Uiagalelei was off-target on multiple throws that could have easily led to scores if he put the passes where they needed to be. Given DJ U’s struggles, I expect Coach Norvell to lean on his ground game, especially in red zone situations – which would limit the amount of opportunities he has to throw touchdowns.
