Syracuse vs North Carolina -9 O/U 59.5
No video today as I have limited access to things while traveling. I am not sure how UNC is laying over seven points here. The Tar Heels haven’t played a hard schedule as of yet and they even struggled against Appalachian State. They are at a net 1.13 yards per play while their defense struggles against the run. Syracuse has a net yards per play at 2.06 and that is including rougher opponents like Clemson, Army and Purdue. Garrett Shrader for the Orange has been moving the ball well at 63.5% completions and eight TDs. North Carolina’s Drake May is definitely a stud, but he will have his hands full against a defense ranking tenth in success rate and fourteenth in yards per pass. I think that this is a close game and UNC should only be favored by about four points.
Syracuse +9 – 3 stars
