Final Analysis for NC State at Syracus

Syracuse has one of the top offenses in the ACC. The Orange average over 42 points and over 275 yards per. NC State is a decent team, but it should be difficult for the Wolfpack to keep up with the Orange on the scoreboard.

Not only that, but Syracuse steps up their game at home. Heck, even in their road losses, the Orange played hard. Clemson only beat Syracuse 27-23 on Sep. 29 while Pittsburgh only beat them by 7, 44-37, on Oct. 6.

Syracuse should handle NC State on Saturday. It might not even be close.
