Point Spread Pick for Notre Dame vs. Syracuse
- Syracuse Orange to cover. (4 Units)
The Orange have the edge here because they’re playing well offensively, scoring more than 76 points per game at home, while making over 49 percent of their shots. They do a good job of finding the open man, and they rebound the ball well, grabbing more than eight offensive rebounds per game, which will give them more scoring chances. They also cut down their turnovers in recent games, and won’t give up many easy-scoring chances. The Irish aren’t playing well defensively at the moment, and gave up more than 80 points per game in their last three games, so expect them to have a hard time slowing down the Orange. Take Syracuse to cover the spread.
