Notre Dame vs Syracuse 8:00 ET (at E. Rutherford, NJ)
Orange (+) over Fighting Irish- The improvement in the No. 8 Fighting Irish can be seen in their defense where they have allowed only 31 points while assembling a 3-0 record. Syracuse got whacked (Terps Early-Bird winner) last week by Maryland as they were caught looking ahead to what can be the biggest game on their schedule against the Irish while the Domers might get caught here look toward Stanford. That loss could help the Orange as they are 7-1-1 ATS following a straight-up loss and Notre Dame is just 1-6 ATS in their last seven on fieldturf. The lifetime series is tied 3-3 with the Orange taking the last meetings 24-23 in South Bend in 2008. Take SYRACUSE!
