Give me Syracuse here. The Orange were competitive against Texas and Texas Tech earlier in the season and the offense is too good. Syracuse is averaging 81 points per game and they are going to have no issue running up the score here. Tennesse is probably still coming away with a victory here, but Syracuse will keep this one within a couple of points. Back Syracuse against the spread. This is one of my favorite plays.
