From the booth
The model favored SYR to win, and the call landed.
Syracuse and UConn meet in East Hartford, and the Orange are coming off a bye after dropping 2 straight. The Huskies sit at 2-2 and gave Miami (OH) a fight before falling 24-21 on the road. Our model backs Syracuse at 62%, favored by 6.5, leaning on the Orange's offensive efficiency and the betting market, though UConn's recent point differential keeps this one competitive.
