Syracuse is entering this game with a 5-0 record overall to start their college football season and they will be playing their 5th home game of the season as they are 4-0 in their home games this year.

The current betting odds have NC State listed as a 3 point underdog in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. Both of these teams are off to a very good start this year with 5 wins each but NC State does have a loss already. Their loss came in the conference too but it was against one of the best teams in the ACC, Clemson, and they bounced back nicely after that loss with a win over FSU last week. Syracuse has been great with their 5-0 start but they have also had a very weak schedule with their strongest opponent faced this season being Purdue, a game they only won by 3 points at home and almost lost it. Syracuse is going to get a shock here as they just had their bye week but even before that, their last game was against Wagner from the FCS and Virginia even prior to that one. Both of those teams are very bad and Syracuse will be getting their toughest challenge of the year here. NC State is going to be out to prove why they deserve to be a higher rank than Syracuse and they will expose Syracuse for the frauds they are after this game. The best way to place a bet here is on NC State to cover the spread in this game.

"Lost the turnover margin, lost the line of scrimmage, you don't win many games like that." - Dave Doeren after his team’s loss against Clemson in their last game.

 

 

"I'm excited for the young men to be 5-0. I've got to recall whether I've been (5-0) or not. For the young men, it's exciting. They haven't played perfect football, but their record is still perfect and now they get an opportunity to do some exciting stuff. It doesn't mean they will, but it does mean we have a chance." - Dino Babers after his team’s win against Wagner in their last game.
