Marshall at Syracuse

Syracuse is looking as good as their pre-season billing now at 8-0, and is off an emotional game vs. Florida where they logged a 4-point win. This is a good spot for the Orange to come out flat vs. an opponent that doesn't inspire energy. The Thundering Herd is certainly a bit more competent than the Orange’s energy level may warrant after a big win. The Herd comes in at 5-1 and has already knocked off a Big East opponent at Cincinnati, continuing their pedigree vs. Big East opponents where they are now 7-0 ATS in their last seven. The Cuse has dropped their last four at home vs. a team with a winning record and will likely play this one flat. I believe that Marshall hangs around here to get the cover. Take the points and play on Marshall.
