Syracuse Football: Predictions for Notre Dame at Yankee Stadium

The Syracuse football squad heads to Yankee Stadium to play arguably their toughest foe to date the Notre Dame Fighting Irish on Saturday afternoon.

It’s time for the moment of truth. After one of the craziest hype weeks in recent Syracuse football memory, now a game has to be played vs the Notre Dame Fighting Irish. This game won’t be played in South Bend, thanks to an Irish scheduling job, so the game will be played at Yankee Stadium.

This is a big time atmosphere with two top-12 teams squaring off with a lot on the line. For the Irish, if they win out (vs Syracuse and vs USC) they’re in the College Football Playoff for the first time in history.

While for the Orange there’s less than a one percent chance of this team making the College Football Playoff, but that doesn’t mean they have nothing to play for. They’re vying for a top-10 spot in the College Football Playoff rankings to make a statement that they’ve arrived and they’re for real.

With all that on the line, we polled our expert staff to get some projections and predictions on what will go down on Saturday afternoon. Some predict upsets, some predict classics, and one person predicts a Syracuse blowout win? Oh my.
