College Football Week 7 Odds, Picks & Predictions: Syracuse vs. North Carolina State

All indications point towards NC State QB Devin Leary being out. That would leave the starting job to veteran backup Jack Chambers. NC State’s offense was already problematic.

While NC State appears to have gotten bad news on Leary, it looks like they got good news on RB Demie Sumo-Karngbaye and WR Devin Carter. HC Dave Doeren said he expects both to play at Syracuse.

But NC State, coming off a grueling loss to Clemson and a grueling, narrow win over Florida State, is beat up. On the other side, Syracuse, this week’s opponent, is fresh as a daisy.

The Orange are basically coming off two-straight bye weeks. Two weeks ago, Syracuse beat FCS Wagner before going on their official bye.

Syracuse is the far fresher team, and the home team. They’re catching the opponent in a bad spot. And with Leary out, Syracuse is also the better team.

Pick: Syracuse -3.5
