T.M. Selection: SYR vs UNLV - UNDER

I am on the UNDER in the Syracuse vs UNLV game on Friday. I don't expect either offense to be too comfortable in this one, especially early on. The Orange are playing their first road game of the season and UNLV has allowed only 14 ppg this season. The Rebels have Williams at QB now and the transfer QB did play well last week in his first action. However, now there is film on him operating in this UNLV offense and I expect Syracuse to be fully prepared for stopping him. Of course Williams was not the original starter here for a reason. The Orange have allowed only 22.5 ppg this season. I look for both offenses to struggle a bit given the situational factors here. UNLV should look to run plenty to keep Williams comfortable at QB and not put too much pressure on him. Syracuse does have a former Ohio State QB under center here and he has played well but in the first road game of the year for the Orange, they also could play it conservative and focus heavily on the ground game in this one.

T.M. Prediction: 27-20 UNLV.

Line: O/U 58.5
