Syracuse hosts Miami (Oh) on Saturday evening, and the RedHawks plus the points are the right play.
Syracuse snapped an 11-game losing streak last week with a surprising 31-21 road win at Illinois.
However, the Illini may have one of the worst teams in the country this season and although Miami (Ohio) is off to an 0-3 start, it is probably a step-up in class for Syracuse. The Orange continue to struggle offensively averaging just 261.7 total yards per game, while the defense is surrendering 370.7 yards per contest, a combination that does not make the 'Cuse trustworthy laying this many points.
The Redhawks obviously have more talent than their record, and we still feel this team will be a force in the MAC before all is said and done. Since opening with a 21-3 loss vs. Northwestern, Miami-O went on the road to Purdue and gave the Boilermakers all that they could handle before succumbing 38-31. And the Hawks then narrowly lost their MAC opener, 16-14, to Kent last week.
We will gladly take these generous points here as we give the Redhawks a chance to win this game on the field.
definitely think that Syracuse is overvalued here, but Miami OH just hasn't been right this year...getting RB Murphy back for this one should help, but this game will probably end up right near the number...
