Free Clemson Tigers vs. Syracuse Orange NCAAB Prediction: Syracuse to Cover
The script has somewhat flipped at Syracuse, but can their high powered offense handle the manageable margin?
4* Free CBB Betting Pick: Syracuse -4.5
The fact that Syracuse can rely on outscoring opponents now has become a blessing and a curse. For this matchup at home against an offensively challenged team in Clemson it could be a blessing, as the Orange need to find some consistency before it’s too late. The talent is there, and being back at the Carrier Dome should help Boeheim’s bunch right the ship, and cover for the second time in three tries.
Take Syracuse’s spread for this one, and give the over a look as well
