Louisville at Syracuse 9/3/22 - College Football Picks & Predictions

The Cardinals are heading to New York to take on Syracuse in this game. The Cardinals last year were able to finish the season barely under the five hundred mark at 6-7. The last game the Cardinals played in was a 31-28 loss to Air Force in the First Responder Bowl.

The Cardinals are bringing back 7 starters on the offensive side of the ball. One of the key starters coming back is Malik Cunningham who last year went 209/337 for 2,941 yards and 19 touchdowns, but only had 6 picks. The leading running back, outside of Cunningham, is Jalen Mitchell who last year carried the ball 155 times for 722 yards and 5 touchdowns. The defense for Louisville is bringing back 7 starters. 

Dino Babbers is back to guide the Orange again this season. Last year Syracuse finished the year at 5-7 on the year and just missed making a bowl game. Now, the Orange are looking to build off of some of the success from last year.
