Syracuse (3-3, 0-2 Atlantic Coast) already has as many losses in 2019 as it did in all of 2018. The Orange lost to Pittsburgh (4-2, 1-1) in 2018 at Heinz Field, 44-37, after Eric Dungey threw an interception in overtime. Syracuse, as of Wednesday afternoon, are 3.5-point underdogs, according to Pinnacle.
