This appears to be one of the worst Syracuse teams of the 21st Century and while the prospect of UNC -- which admittedly has not fared well against the spread on the road this season -- might inspire a heightened level of play I don't think they've got the horses to go toe-to-toe with the Tar Heels. This is also an "empty the tank" opportunity in the schedule for UNC, as the team will have a week off following this game.
