UAlbany @ Syracuse (Friday 6 PM, ACCNX); Syracuse -6.5
Syracuse being a roughly seven-goal favorite caught my eye. I don't think they'll win by seven. Fade me if you want. Of their 16 wins since 2005, the Orange have won by seven or more only three times with the last coming in 2019. Rules have changed drastically since 2005 as well and the Great Danes aren't like they were a decade ago.
Finn Thompson looked great last weekend for the Orange. And despite scoring only one goal against Vermont, it was good to watch Joey Spallina shoot the ball 15 times. It was only game one and while some would've hoped he would have scored more than once, at least he's not afraid at all to shoot.
Syracuse also plays against Holy Cross on Sunday in the JMA Wireless *cough cough Carrier* Dome.
