The Syracuse Orange vs. South Florida Bulls betting line was mostly staying below the 3 favoring Syracuse. Our number comes in at Orange 10.14, indicating a significant underlay. Underlays in this number range tend to perform well for the favorite.
Syracuse will be without their head coach and without their starting quarterback, Garrett Shrader, who helped land this team in the Boca Raton Bowl. Their 6-6 record resulted in the firing of Dino Babers last month near the end of his eighth season at Syracuse. Shrader was undergoing shoulder surgery.
In Shrader's absence, the Orange could opt for backup Carlos Del Rio-Wilson, who threw three touchdowns and six interceptions in limited action this season.
The Bulls (6-6) showed drastic improvement this season under first-year coach Alex Golesh.
They are playing in their first bowl game since 2018. The team won a combined four games in their previous three seasons combined.
"To get here in year one and to continue to lay a foundation for what we're building in Tampa, it's absolutely huge for us," said Golesh.
