Scouting report

No play

No recommended play — nothing here clears our bar. If forced to a side, the model leans Syracuse +9.5, below our recommendation threshold.

The decider

Syracuse are without Malachi Nelson at quarterback (out); Syracuse are without Amari Odom at quarterback (out), and a quarterback change moves every number on this page. SMU's offense meets a Syracuse defense that has been average; the edge in that matchup belongs to SMU. SMU score 36.4 a game and Syracuse allow 26.3.

The context

Syracuse have been the cleaner team with the ball, and in a close game that is usually the difference. Turnover margin: SMU -0.4 a game, Syracuse -0.3.

Situational

SMU are missing Carterrious Brown (WR), Dramekco Green (RB) — worth a notch of caution.
