Syracuse football is in the midst of their bye week. Here’s a revised outlook on the rest of the season and some crystal ball predictions.

It’s fair to say things haven’t gone exactly according to plan for the Syracuse football squad in 2019. Through the first five games of the season, the Orange are barely sitting above the .500 mark at 3-2.

Now the team is in the midst of the first of two bye weeks this season as they ponder about the rest of their season.

Speaking of that, it’s time to reassess everything. Before the season there was unrealistic expectations thrust on the Orange. Whether it be College Football Playoff talk or winning the ACC outright. Fans got a little crazy, understandably so.

But now five games in, how will this team finish off the season? Our entire staff came together to give their full predictions with an updated final record that is cognizant of the five games that have already transpired.
