Can ACC Keep up the Hype? Vegas ACC Predictions for Week 3 Here.
Saturday Blitz Vegas ACC Predictions Week 3
Syracuse Orange at Central Michigan Chippewas
Line: Syracuse by 6
The Syracuse Orange had a bye week at the right time after shockingly needing double-overtime to pull out their opening week victory against Villanova. Scott Shafer’s second team is supposed to be better than last year, but it certainly didn’t look that way. Now, they travel on the road to face an FBS program, so is there a chance they could be upset? This is a trendy Vegas pick right here with the new hype surrounding Central Michigan.
The Chippewas manhandled Purdue last week on the road, making them one respected MAC team. But what’s lost is the fact that they struggled to beat Chattanooga in the opener, and Purdue is just awful. Central Michigan still has to fix some issues on offense after only 20 points in the opener, and it’s hard to tell how good they actually are after dropping 38 on a terrible Boilermakers defense. They will want to take advantage of a Syracuse offense that now looks suspect as well.
Prediction
This may be a trendy pick, but all the Orange needed was a wake-up call. They’ll win this game on the road not in a blowout but by a decent margin to prove they’re still a pretty good team.
Syracuse: 27 Central Michigan: 13
