Orange Host Cavaliers in Huge ACC Clash
Syracuse Looking to Stay Perfect
It’s been a fast start to the 2022 college football season for the Syracuse Orange, but now the real tests begin. Syracuse hosts the Virginia Cavaliers on Friday night and the ACC rivals could be in for a great matchup.
Virginia came into the 2022 season with big expectations, but things haven’t gone well for the Cavaliers. They are 2-1 but a blowout loss to Illinois in Week 2 has them trying to get back on track.
Syracuse comes into Week 4 with a perfect 3-0 record, and the Orange have exceeded expectations. The Orange blew out Louisville in Week 1 and stunned Purdue last weekend to stay undefeated.
The college football odds for this game have the Syracuse Orange as 10-point betting favorites.
Let’s check the latest NCAAF picks, stats, injury reports, and NCAAF odds for Virginia vs Syracuse. We’ve plenty of NCAAF predictions for you to consider.
Cavaliers Can Get Some Stops
The Virginia Cavaliers have not shown that they have an offense that can win in a shootout, but the defense can be dominant. The Cavaliers are giving up just 18 points per game, but they also have an offense averaging just 17 points.
Quarterback Brennan Armstrong has to find a way to be more accurate as he has thrown three interceptions to just two touchdowns. Armstrong has completed just 40 percent of his passes on the road.
The Cavaliers do have a talented secondary, and that unit will need to step up in this one. Look for Virginia to try and pressure the quarterback in an attempt to slow down a talented Syracuse offense.
Syracuse Playing Fast on Offense
Syracuse Orange needed some magic to pull off a 32-29 win in Week 3 against Purdue, but it’s the type of win that could propel them to go on a big run. After the win, head coach Dino Babers said, “To win a game like that, to have the scoreboard go back and forth from the third quarter to the fourth quarter, through the highs and lows. … There were turns, there were deep valleys and then there were big climbs.”
The Orange have been a great offensive team that is averaging 37 points. Quarterback Garrett Shrader has set the tone as he has thrown eight touchdown passes to no interceptions.
Syracuse has also been able to get big stops on defense despite giving up 29 points in Week 3. The Orange are allowing less than 100 rushing yards per game, and that unit will be a big key in this game.
