Syracuse Orange @ Rutgers Scarlet Knights Free Pick

[Shame About Ray]

The rapid deterioration of the Syracuse program has been the topic of conversation in many college circles but they pulled the pieces together for a 28-21 win over Louisville as 11-point underdogs last week. The win was particularly impressive because Louisville had beaten Top 25 team South Florida the previous week.

Rutgers has dominated this series, covering the last three matchups but this Scarlet Knights team isn’t as good as the teams that took the cash in those meetings.

Rutgers covered their last game against an injury-riddled Pittsburgh team but the points are the way to go in this game. The Orange have covered three of their last four games and at times they can show signs of being a good football team, albeit sporadically.

Pick: Syracuse +14
