Syracuse is a few plays away from being 5-3. With a young team, Scott Shafer could really use an upset win to help his chances of getting to a bowl game and the extra practice time his team needs.
For the second straight week, Louisville will face a team needing a big upset to salvage their bowl hopes. Three of Syracuse's losses have been by a total of 19 points and that includes a loss to LSU. The Orange have seen some success on the offensive side of the ball, but they've also struggled to get stops on the other side of the ball.
