Syracuse Orange takes on New Hampshire Wildcats in a college football showdown. Both teams have shown they can score, and our numbers think they'll put up plenty of points. With Syracuse's offense being strong and New Hampshire's defense having some holes, it looks like they could easily combine for more than 55.5 points. The Wildcats will have to keep up with the Orange's scoring, and they've been known to struggle against tougher competition. Still, with a combined expected total around 62.5, there's a good chance this game will be a high-scoring affair. Just remember, if New Hampshire can't keep pace, it could hurt the total. It was priced at -110 when we wrote this, so a $10 bet returns $19.09 if it lands. The bookmakers have this as a slight favourite. Our model likes this one a lot. Prices move, so check the price at your bookmaker before you back it. And if this one does not feel right to you, skipping it is a perfectly good move.
