Why Syracuse can cover
Syracuse is playing under first-year head coach Fran Brown, who led the team to a 38-22 win over Ohio last weekend. Ohio State transfer Kyle McCord completed 27 of 39 passes for 354 yards and four touchdowns in his first game with the Orange. McCord completed passes to eight different wide receivers, with Oronde Gadsden II catching seven passes for 108 yards and a score.
The former Buckeye is a highly regarded quarterback, as he threw for 3,170 yards and 24 touchdowns last season. Running back LeQuint Allen had a strong performance in Week 1 as well, rushing for 98 yards while hauling in 24 receiving yards. Syracuse is 10-1 in its last 11 games in September, and it has a 10-4 record in its last 14 home games. See which team to pick here.
Why Georgia Tech can cover
Georgia Tech is one of the few teams in the country with two wins already this season, as it opened the year with an upset win over then-No. 10 Florida State in Dublin. The Yellow Jackets were 10.5-point underdogs in that game, but running back Jamal Haynes rushed for 75 yards and two touchdowns to help spring the upset. He was efficient again last season, rushing for 84 yards and a touchdown in a 35-12 win over Georgia State.
Junior quarterback Haynes King completed 24 of 29 passes for 275 yards and two touchdowns while rushing for 27 yards and another score. Junior wide receiver Malik Rutherford caught seven passes for 131 yards and a touchdown, averaging 18.7 yards per reception. The Yellow Jackets have covered the spread in five straight games dating back to last season, while the Orange have only covered twice in their last 10 games. See which team to pick here.
