Syracuse Football: Predictions for season finale vs Boston College

Andrew Carey (7-4)
Prediction: Syracuse wins 34-24

The BC game is a rivalry one and provides an opportunity for Syracuse to continue to get their revenge on the ACC opponents that beat them the previous year. Boston College whacked the Orange on the nose last year in the Carrier Dome behind their running attack and AJ Dillon.

In order to best the Golden Eagles this time around, Syracuse will need to keep that same man in check. Dillon is arguably the best running back in the ACC and runs angry behind his big offensive line. In the past we’ve seen this Syracuse defense really struggle against the physical run heavy teams.

With that being said, I think Syracuse has a decent chance in this game, with or without Dungey. Babers and his staff are not satisfied with their eight wins and are still looking for much more. This game will likely decide whether or not the Cuse is back in Yankee Stadium for the Pinstripe Bowl, or in beautiful Orlando Florida for the Camping World Bowl.

What I am really looking for is a bounce back game from the Syracuse offense. The Notre Dame game was probably the worst offensive performance by Syracuse thus far. The wide receivers were dropping passes, the offensive line struggled, and the quarterback play was probably the worst of the season. Syracuse will clean that up, and walk out of Chestnut Hill with a 34-24 win.
