Both the Syracuse Orange and Wake Forest Demon Deacons enter tomorrow night’s game on a losing streak so something has to give. Expectations seem pretty low around Orange fans so let’s see if our staff feels the same way.

Wake Forest 27, Syracuse 17
Here’s the thing - the Demon Deacons don’t have the rushing power to dominate the Orange like Syracuse’s past four opponents have. They still have Sam Hartman, but his receiving options are a little less diverse and the interception numbers are up. Syracuse’s secondary players, even its backups, have proven to be stout defenders so I expect them to keep this game close.
