The Pitt Vs Syracuse
Game Preview!
In Week 9 of college football, the Syracuse Orange are set to face off against the Pitt Panthers at Acrisure Stadium this Thursday night. In this article, we’ll dive into the matchup from a betting perspective, exploring the top bets for the game. Here’s our prediction for the Syracuse vs. Pitt showdown!
Orange Looking To Make
A Move In ACC?
This team has some decent players. Honestly even at 5-1, I still believe they have the potential to be much better then what we have seen so far this season!
Kyle McCord has thrown for 2,160 yards, 19 touchdowns and 6 interceptions on 65.6% passing while LeQuint Allen has rushed for a team-high 449 yards and 4 touchdowns. Trebor Pena has a team-high 42 receptions for 458 yards and 5 touchdowns! Another two Syracuse receivers have 200+ receiving yards as well on the year.
On defense, Derek McDonald and Justin Barron each have a team-high 39 total tackles while KingJoseph Edwards has 3 sacks and Fadil Diggs has a team-high 4 sacks. As a unit, Syracuse’s defense has combined for 13 sacks and 6 interceptions so far this season. This is a well rounded, well coached program in my opinion!
The Panthers Trying To
Stay Undefeated!
Now we look into this Pittsburgh Team! I see a great QB in Holstein! He has thrown for 1,697 yards, 15 touchdowns and 5 interceptions on 63.5% passing while Desmond Reid has rushed for a team-high 494 yards and 3 touchdowns. Konata Mumpfield has a team-high 26 receptions for 463 yards and 3 touchdowns for Pitt’s receiving group!
On defense, Donovan McMillon has a team-high 56 total tackles while Rasheem Biles has 40 total tackles including 23 solo tackles and 3 sacks. Kyle Louis has 3 sacks and a pair of INTs while Jimmy Scott has 4 sacks and Nate Matlack has 3 sacks. As a unit, Pitt has a team-high 18 sacks and 5 interceptions. Can this team stay undefeated or will they take their first L tonight?
The Syracuse vs. Pitt
Game Prediction!
The Pick: Syracuse +6.5
I’m impressed with this Syracuse team and I do think they have a good shot here. I get why Pitt’s favored here, and Kyle McCord has had some questionable performances in second halves this season. However, Syracuse’s offense can hang here, and this feels like a game where the team that has the ball last wins this game. I think this comes down to 3 or 4 points so give me the points with Syracuse here.
