Syracuse basketball faces Boston College on Wednesday night. Here are our full crystal ball predictions for this contest + top x-factors to watch.

Syracuse basketball is on cloud nine after earning their best win on the 2019-20 docket vs the Virginia Cavaliers. Now they’ll have to prepare themselves for an equally important home tilt vs the Boston College Eagles.

BC enters this game 9-7 and 3-2 in ACC play thus far. While the Orange also sits at 9-7, although just 2-3 in conference play.

Despite the similar records, the Orange is an overwhelming favorite in this game according to every metric. Syracuse for the first time in ACC play is a double-digit favorite vs BC (11 points) and per the ESPN BPI Analytics, the Orange are projected to win 86.7 percent of the time.

The Eagles have lost two out of their last three games including a massive win over the defending National Champions (just a game prior to the Orange doing so last week). Similarly, Syracuse has also lost two out of their last three games, but interestingly both of their losses have come at home.

Can Syracuse get its first ACC home win of the year? We have the answer to that very question and some with our full crystal ball predictions for this contest! Also, we’ll dive into who and what are the top x-factors for this contest.
