Model called it
The model favored SYR to win, and the call landed.
Syracuse is absolutely favored here, and there's really no suspense, folks. The model's got the Orange at 98 percent to win, and honestly that makes sense when you look at the numbers. Vegas has 'em as a 34 and a half point favorite, the betting market agrees, and Syracuse's got a talent edge in Elo rating and they're playing better football on offense over these last five games. New Hampshire's looking at just a 2 percent shot, and that's more of a "anything can happen in college football" hedge than anything else.
