The Virginia Cavaliers take on the Syracuse Orange in an ACC battle on Friday. The Cavaliers have covered in one of their three games. The offensive is led by Brennan Armstrong, who has been a bit of a disappointment this year, as he has thrown for 710 passing yards and a with just two touchdowns and three interceptions. He will hope to have a better game against an Orange pass defense that hasn't been very good. On the defensive side, they are 46th in the FBS, while the rush defense is 82nd. The offense is scoring 17.7 points and they are giving up 18.3 points. The Syracuse Orange have exceeded expectations and have covered the points in all three games. The Orange will run more than pass. Sean Tucker has rushed for 100 yards or more in two out of his three games.
The Orange defense struggled against the pass last week but played well in the first two games. They rank 86th against the pass and 35th against the run. Syracuse is putting up 37 points and allowing. The Cavaliers have allowed 24 or fewer points in all three games this season. The Cavaliers are a low-scoring team. They rely on the defense to win games. They have gone UNDER in all three games. The Orange rely on the running game to move the ball. They have only attempted a pass in 41% of their total plays. Virginia has allowed 17 or fewer points in two of their three games. I am looking for a defensive struggle and if the offenses do move the ball it will be on long, time eating drives.

Play on the UNDER.
