In Week 5 fans will enjoy a matchup between the Syracuse football squad and Holy Cross. Here are our FULL crystal ball predictions ahead of the game.

Syracuse football has had a rough go of it so far during the 2019 season. Nothing has come easy for this team whether it be wins, losses, or heck even injuries.

In Week 5 with an opportunity to get back above .500, the Orange will renew an old rivalry with the Holy Cross Crusaders. These two squads haven’t faced off since 1973 when the final score was 5-3. The Orange won that game by the way.

It’s probably safe to say that won’t be the final score this time around. At least that’s what the experts and analytics say.

The Orange are 38.5 point favorites over the Crusaders. While the ESPN FPI Analytics suggests that Holy Cross possesses just a 2.3 percent chance of victory.

While this game isn’t in question for the Orange, it doesn’t mean that this isn’t important. Here are our FULL crystal ball predictions that not only include scores, but also the top keys to watch out for in this game and moving forward.
