at least by a computer as there is no official line yet

5dimes has SU as 14.5 favorite.

That would be more like it.

 

[Libero2]

I would still be mildly shocked if we scored 43 points let alone win by that ridiculous amount.

 

[Crusty]

Villanova Ranked No. 12 to Start the Season

That sounds more reasonable. My guess without having looked at anything was somewhere in the 17 range. I anticipate a competitive game through the early to mid 3rd quarter where we ultimately impose our will and win something like 38-21.

I thought there was no line against fcs teams.

It won't be competitive. Wagner 2.0

Their QB is pretty good but most of their WR are mites. Shafer says there will be lots of trickeration. Could be an interesting game.

You remember that Maine game? I hope not to see a repeat of all that. I've been saying 17 pts all summer...still think I'd lay 14.5 pts.

Exactly.

 

[CousCuse]

You have to win every play , every block , every tackle . The score will end up where it should.

 

[Blaster]

My guess 52 - 17

 

[upperdeck]

they gave BC a game last year and are supposed to be better

 

[Alsacs]

Nova is not Wagner they are a good 1-AA program. Any double digit win will be good enough for me. They will be competitive they hung with BC last year.

Nova isn't better than tulane though

By the end of the half? Sounds about right

 

[OrangePA]

Nova Will Be Tough.

 

[orangehomer]

in football, the game is long enough that I don't think it matters that much but this will be nova's superbowl. for those kids to beat us would be something they could point at for their entire lives.

 

[Stern]

Nova is an awful team and should get their doors blown off next Friday. SU should win by 4 TD's easy.

They were 6-5 last year. An average FCS team. People are worrying about nothing.

A view from Philly...

“Well, we’re moving along very nicely,” Villanova head coach Andy Talley tells KYW Newsradio. “We’re just about finished double-sessions, preseason, getting ready for the Syracuse game which is Friday night, on Labor Day weekend. So we’re going to be playing in the dome, and we’re trying to get ready for playing a big (FBS) team. Right now, we have a couple injuries in the (offensive) line, but we hope those guys will be back in time. But the spirit’s high and we’re excited.”

A lot of you guys are over thinking this. We are far far more talented now. This isn't the Grob Orange anymore. Put it this way if we win by less then 2 td's we are in for a long season. Not happening though.

45-10 Cuse rolls

Much more talent on both sides of the ball. Shafer was talking up Nova a lot today, he will also do that to his team, call it cuse 41-14

604 to -2 syracuse wins by a lot.
