Going into last week's game with Clemson, Syracuse had played the Tigers tougher than anyone recently. That wasn't the case this time around as Syracuse lost 41-6 at home. The Orange lost a lot of their offense from a season ago to graduation. It has been tough sledding on that side of the ball to open the season, as they are producing just 16.7 points per game. Western Michigan put up some gaudy offensive numbers vs. Georgia State and Monmouth, but this is a step up in class in a hostile building. Most of Western Michigan's ventures against P5 Conferences have come vs. Big-10 and ACC opponents. In 41 contests vs. the Big-10, the Broncos average 17.4 points per game, and in eight games vs. the ACC that drops to just 16.4 ppg. That means the Syracuse offense isn't nearly what it was last season is going to have to put up 50+ and I don't see it. Make the play on the UNDER.
