Colgate vs Syracuse Prediction
Syracuse is much more talented on both sides of the line of scrimmage and will be a tough opponent for FCS Colgate. The Orange have too much offense for the Raiders to stop on a regular basis, and on defense, Syracuse will produce plenty of three-and-outs and prevent Colgate from mounting any sustained drives. Final Score Prediction: Syracuse Orange win and cover ATS 39-3.
