Using KP front page, I would think you are correct.   Pitt seems to be our hardest match - based on KP and Barttorvik which I have included at the bottom..   I estimated probabilities trying to piggy back off mid points from the Barttorvik data.
Syracuse +1 vs NC St (46%)
Syracuse +1.5 vs Duke (44%)
Syracuse +4.5 at Clemson (33%)
Syracuse +6.0 at Pitt (28%)
Syracuse -2.0 vs Wake (57%)
Syracuse +10.5 vs Georgia Tech (87%)

(Note subscribers to KP may have a line in his detailed info that is about a point different... I run the calculations manually in my head based on the team's adjusted efficiency)

I did look at Barttorvik which also has the data.    Compared to KP they have us at #105 in the country vs #88, so they seem to view us about 2 points worse across most games- they also seem to like NC St more than Duke as well.   
 
[B]Note - [/B]I believe the opening lines will likely be about 2 points better than the ones predicted by Barttorvik below - in line with the numbers I have above. For whatever reason Barttorvik does not like us this year.
