NC State a three-point underdog to Syracuse
RALEIGH, NC - OCTOBER 12: North Carolina State Wolfpack linebacker Devon Betty (8) hypes the team but before the college football game between the North Carolina State Wolfpack and the Syracuse Orange on October 12, 2024 at Carter-Finley Stadium in Raleigh, NC.
Key points
- Syracuse has played seven one-possession games this season, and those account for four of its losses, so this team has been competitive just about every week.
- Both of these teams need wins in two of their last three to get to bowl eligibility, so it’s a crucial game in that respect.
- And it’s hardly an unjustified line, given recent results, though SP+ actually likes NC State by a field goal instead.
The same is essentially true for NC State, which will be a substantial road underdog in its last two regular season games.
Your season is so far off the rails that you’re an underdog at home to a 4-5 Syracuse team.
Additional details
- Syracuse still has Notre Dame on the schedule, making this week pretty much a must win.
- The Orange are coming off an 18-13 home loss to Clemson—Dabo is making everyone play yawn-ball now—but they picked up big last-second wins over UNC and SMU in the two weeks prior to that.
