Stanford Preps For ACC Opener

The Stanford Cardinal will cross the country for their first ever game in conference play as a member of the ACC. They are 1-1 to start this year, losing to TCU at home before beating FCS Cal Poly in their second game of the season. Here, the Cardinal are in an interesting spot, as they should be amped up for their conference opener. But such arduous travel could have a negative impact on their ability to win this game in their first taste of action in their new conference.

Syracuse Looking For 2-0 Conference Start

The Syracuse Orange are 2-0 to start this season, with wins over Ohio and Georgia Tech at home under their belt so far. Kyle McCord has been excellent for Syracuse early in the season, throwing eight touchdown passes to just one interception. So far this season, his connection with Oronde Gadsen II has been a huge shot in the arm, with Gadsen hauling in 13 passes for 201 yards and three touchdowns through two games. If that connection continues to flourish this week, the Orange could be 3-0 and 2-0 in ACC play early on.

Stanford vs Syracuse Best Bet

Our best bet for this Stanford vs Syracuse matchup is for these teams to combine to go over the total in New York. Both sides have an elite receiver, with Gadsen lining up for Syracuse and Elic Ayomanor remaining a threat for Stanford. Look for both teams to get their shots in offensively in what should be an entertaining game at JMA Wireless Dome.
