Wake Forest (4-4, 1-3) opened as a 6.5 point underdog to No. 22 Syracuse (6-2, 3-2) when the line came out yesterday. The line is already down to four points, indicating that the initial money is on the Deacs to keep it close on Saturday.
Both teams are coming off of wins where it scored a lot of points in ACC Atlantic Division tilts. The Deacs romped the hapless Louisville Cardinals 56-35, while Cuse got a victory over ranked N.C State by a count of 51-41.
With the win, Syracuse became bowl eligible for the first time in five years, and now it’s time for Wake Forest to inch closer to another bowl game itself.
