AAA's 10* FRIDAY NIGHT SCORPION (BOUNCE BACK WEEK 2 ON DECK!)
(NCAAF) Louisville vs. Syracuse, 09/09/2016 4:00 PM, Score: 62 - 28
Point Spread: 15.50 | -110.00 Syracuse (Home)
Result: Loss
This is a 10* SCORPION on Syracuse.

Setting the scene: Both teams come off victories, as Louisville rolled to an impressive 70-14 victory over light-weight Charlotte last week, while Syracuse handled Colgate 33-7. When these team's played last year, Louisville pulled away for the 41-17 victory. The Orange are going to be competitive in this spot in our opinion though and they're going to catch a Cardinals team "looking ahead" to its important matchup against high-powered Florida State next week.

Louisville: Here's a great spot to take advantage of. We find it almost impossible not to see the Cardinals looking ahead to their game against FSU next weekend, a team they lost 41-21 to last season.

Syracuse: The Orange have the benefit of playing three straight at home to open the year. Next weekend they play USF. Syracuse has its sights set on a bowl game this season after a disastrous 2015/16 campaign. 16 players return, so new coach Dino Babers has a lot to work with this season.

The bottom line: Cardinals' QB Lamar Jackson was outstanding in the win over the 49ers, but the step up in competition is significant in league play today. We think the Orange can hang with Louisville offensively and make this one a little more interesting than what Vegas believes. Also note that Louisville is just 1-6 ATS in its last seven as a fav in the 10.5 to 21 points range, while Syracuse is 8-6 ATS in its last 14 in front of the home town crowd. Grab as many points as you can on the ORANGE.
