Cornell is 6-1 against the spread in their last seven games as an underdog. The over is 4-0 in Big Red last 4 games as an underdog of 13.0 or greater. The under is 4-0 in Orange last 4 home games vs. a team with a winning road record. Cornell is 8-1 against the spread in their last nine games.

These are two elite offenses and there will be no shortage of scoring in this game. Syracuse especially is going to attack the terrible defenses of Cornell and 100 points isn’t out of the question for them. Back the over to cash. and I expect it to go over 170 points.
