Why Wake Forest Will Win
And there’s the Syracuse we all know and love.
The Orange played out of its gourd in a 49-6 win over Duke, and then Syracuse went Syracuse and didn’t stop a thing in a 56-34 loss to Louisville.
Wake Forest might be sliding a bit after losing star receiver Sage Surratt, but it has a shot at nine wins and one of the ACC’s better bowl games.
And the offense is still good.
The attack will keep the production going on third downs against an Orange defense that’s getting picked clean, but the bigger issue throughout the season for SU has been an offensive line that can’t handle anyone’s pass rush.
The Demon Deacons have one of their best days of the year getting into the backfield, generating five sacks against Duke.

Why Syracuse Will Win
At home in the season finale, here’s where the passing game needs to air it out.
The passing game worked against Louisville with Tommy DeVito having a solid day, and Clayton Welch filling in during a stretch and throwing for close to 100 yards.
It’s possible to push the ball deep on the Demon Deacon secondary that allowed nine yards per throw or more in four of the last seven games. Inside, this is the enough-is-enough game – it’s Syracuse’s bowl.
The team needs a few breaks, though.
Wake Forest isn’t bad when it comes to turnovers, but Syracuse is a +6 over the last six games with just two giveaways. This should be a shootout, and just one turnover might be the difference.
What’s Going To Happen
Syracuse will give it the true college try, and it’ll play at another level in the final game of the season. It’ll get enough offensive production to be interesting, but the Demon Deacons will be steadier for a full four quarters. Enjoy the passing games, enjoy the show … it’ll be fun.
