The Syracuse Orange have started every single game this season by having possession first - but recently, they’ve been failing to capitalize and build early momentum.
According to DraftKings SportsBook, that trend is projected to continue this week. The Wake Forest Demon Deacons are expected (-155) to score before SU (+125) in tomorrow’s game. The Deacs are also favored by 10 points, but we’ll note that the Orange are 6-4 against the spread this season.
Scoring first played a hand in Syracuse’s early season success, as all six of their victories came when the Orange drew first blood.
