The Syracuse football squad has a huge ACC primetime affair against the NC State Wolfpack on Saturday. Here’s how the game will play out.

The Syracuse football team has experienced a crazy roller coaster so far this season. On one hand Syracuse could be 4-3 on a three game losing streak with a chance to be 4-4 after this NC State game if things rolled a certain way vs North Carolina. But that didn’t happen.

Now the entire narrative has changed with the huge win over North Carolina and now Syracuse is 5-2 with a chance to get to six wins for the first time since 2013. While NC State is a top-25 foe who is looking to take out the Orange and reach the same six win barometer.

This is also the first Saturday prime time game on the hill since 2010 and the expectation is this will be the highest attended Syracuse football game of the season. Rumors are swirling that perhaps the Orange can crack the 40K mark and that would be an accomplishment unto itself.

Our entire staff put their heads together and spit out some predictions for this game. Can this Syracuse team get back to a bowl game for the first time since 2013? Here’s our best guess.
