ACC Tournament game from Greensboro. Syracuse won the two meetings against NC State this season, although the Orange didn’t cover the home game. They covered in Raleigh, which is their last win on the road. They won only two away games overall and covered only two. But SU's recent body of work is impressive with wins against UNC and Clemson; of course, both at home. The angle I’m playing here is Syracuse has to win to have a chance at the NCAA Tournament. Jerry Palm lists the Orange as one of the last 4 out. The season is on the line, so Syracuse covers.

The Wolfpack have won five straight while shooting 49.6 percent during that streak. They are playing with revenge after losing both regular-season matchups to Syracuse, one by three and the other by nine. Syracuse has been dominant at home but much less so on the road, where the Orange went 2-7 SU and ATS. This is a neutral site, obviously, but I still think we won't see Syracuse's peak performance. Take the points but don't be surprised by an outright upset.
