Big Wa Wa's Rutgers at Syracuse

Rutgers at Syracuse

Syracuse benefitted from a bad call and an even worse replay that upheld the bad call in order to get the win last Saturday against Toledo. Take that out of the equation though and I would have to admit that I was impressed that the Orangemen were able to be in that game enough to even have it come down to something that close. I honestly though Toledo’s offense would be too much for them.


You will get different opinions from different people but in my mind the homefield standard is around 3 points. Granted some teams have more of an edge at home than others and probably even some have very little. Even though I have never been there I would imagine that the environment for Syracuse at home can be a decent advantage from a purely noise standpoint. So even if you give them the benefit of the doubt and award them a full 3 points that basically says this game is a coinflip on just winning the game.

We have to pick our spots and I might be picking a bad one here but I like Rutgers on the road. I like them straight up and general rule of thumb for me is to play the moneyline anytime I like the dog at less than 3 points.

If it moves back to or over 3 then we’ll know early I am probably wrong here.

Rutgers ML +125
