Below, we analyze Tipico Sportsbook’s lines around the NC State vs. Syracuse odds, and make our expert college football picks and predictions.
The Wolfpack won 19-17 last week against Florida State in Raleigh, but the game came with a huge price tag. QB Devin Leary, voted the ACC Preseason Player of the Year, suffered a right shoulder injury, and he is out indefinitely.
The Orange have one of the more unheralded tailbacks in the nation as RB Sean Tucker has 544 yards with 5 TD while averaging 4.9 yards per attempt.
The Orange has covered in 4 of the past 5 games overall, while going 8-2 ATS in the past 10 games at home, too.
