Notre Dame a slight underdog at Syracuse

Is this number set right?

Notre Dame is coming off an up-and-down type performance against UNLV that saw the Irish move to 4-3 but not without some struggles along the way.  As the Irish transition to Syracuse and an Orange team that led at unbeaten Clemson before giving up 17 fourth-quarter points last week, it’s safe to say this game isn’t the two-foot putt most Notre Dame observers thought it’d be back in the summer.

The latest odds have Syracuse being a slight favorite over the Irish for the 12:00 p.m. ET kickoff this Saturday.
