College Football Betting Trends
Syracuse
The Orange are 14-5-1 with the under in their last 20 conference games and 5-2 with the under in their last seven road games.
Wake Forest
Wake Forest has hit the over in five straight home games and in eight of its last nine home games against a team with a winning road record.
Prediction:
This total is quite high, but certainly has the capability of pushing to 80 points. The Demon Deacons give up points by the handful and have an offense capable of scoring a lot as well. Syracuse is on a roll on offense and its defense is quite suspect. They have went over 75 points in three straight, but two of those games were in OT. Wake Forest is a team that tends to rely on its run game, which will limit just how much of a shootout this can be. With the total so high, there is little breathing room for error. I will take my chances with the under.
