Betting Trends for vs
The Syracuse Orange were awful in scoring the basketball against the Virginia Cavaliers as they shot 23.6% on their home court, but the Colgate Raiders won’t pose as much as a threat. Colgate has one of the most underrated guards in the country with Jordan Burns (16.3 PPG, 5.7 APG in 2018), but the Syracuse Orange have a good defense and the zone should disrupt Burns. Syracuse will be dependent on Elijah Hughes this season as he can score the basketball at will, but Jim Boeheim will need another piece to step up. Syracuse will need to be much better rebounding out of the zone as they allowed Virginia to rack up 47 total rebounds, but Colgate doesn’t have much size after their 6’10 center. Expect Syracuse to respond with a nice win on their home court against an in-state foe. Final Score Prediction, Syracuse Orange win and cover ATS 70-55.
