Spread Pick: Syracuse +14
I'll take the points with the Orange.
I have many questions about this Tennessee team in 2025, particularly at the quarterback position.
Joey Aguilar will take over as the signal caller for the Vols. While he's talented, I'm unsure how he'll perform in his first year in this offense. I expect some early growing pains for the senior in this matchup.
On the other side, Notre Dame transfer Steve Angeli will take over for the Syracuse offense.
Angeli brings talent and will keep the Orange close in this matchup on Saturday.
Syracuse Player Prop Pick: Steve Angeli Over 242.5 Passing Yards
Angeli won the job in the spring for Syracuse, and head coach Fran Brown has instilled confidence in the transfer.
The game script should bode well for this prop, as I anticipate a close back-and-forth contest.
The Orange are a pass-first team that will lean on their signal caller.
