I'm a Syracuse fan and the team is dreadful but I did take the Orange earlier this month against Albany at a similar number and they covered. I just think 11.5 is too low of an opener in this matchup. Bucknell has lost six straight games by an average of 14 points. The Bison's best win came over 5-7 Richmond in double overtime. Syracuse's many weaknesses on defense get exploited by better teams but Bucknell doesn't shoot well and ranks 335th in offensive efficiency. This feel like a matchup where Syracuse scores too much for Bucknell to keep up and stay within 11.5 points. I make this line Syracuse -15. Play up to -14.
