Stanford in the ACC still makes no sense to me, and this game being in the JMA Wireless Dome in upstate New York is a massive advantage for the Orange. Kyle McCord has excellent since transferring from Ohio State, and I expect Syracuse to score early and often in this one. I have the Orange winning by 10+.

This is a weird ACC debut for Stanford facing Syracuse in a conference game for the first time. This is a spot where I see Kyle McCord earning his due that he didn't get at Ohio State last year. They lost one game and he was run out of town, or at least he felt that way. But so far this year in two games he's been brilliant with over 350 yards in both games and four touchdowns in both games including last week when against No. 23 Georgia Tech. I think Syracuse is going to score plenty against Stanford and they’ll have trouble keeping up. Stanford has an edge on special teams but that's not enough to keep up with the offense. Syracuse covers.
