Syracuse Looks to Wash Away Loss to BC

The Syracuse Orange have lost two of their last three games, including their contest last week against the Cal Golden Bears. After that loss to Boston College, Syracuse head coach Fran Brown revealed to the world that he does not shower after a loss, as he feels like he does not deserve to. Here, Syracuse will look to earn their head coach a shower by getting a win that would move them back above the .500 mark for the season in ACC competition.

Can Cal Get Third Straight Win and a Bowl Bid?

It has certainly been an up-and-down season for the Cal Golden Bears. After a hot start, they went on a long losing streak, but have since picked things back up with consecutive wins over Wake Forest and Oregon State. This week, the Golden Bears are back at home where they will look for a third straight win, one that would make them bowl-eligible. To get there, the Cal offense will need to stay hot, as they enter this game averaging 45 points per game over their last two outings.

Syracuse vs Cal Prediction

Our best bet for Syracuse vs Cal is for the game to go over the total from the West coast. Both of these teams are capable of putting up points in bunches, while their defenses have been suspect for extended periods of time throughout the season. Look for some offensive fireworks in what should be an entertaining affair in the ACC.
