FWIW, over/under of 6.5 wins, at +133 on the moneyline, Syracuse's implied probability to go over is 42.9%. Again FWIW.Only one member of the DO staff had the Orange as good as 6-6. The other two had losing seasons.

Geez. Do they know something we don’t? Is the Minnesota game a harbinger of what’s to come?These predictions make sense to me as a student on campus. A lot of the people I have talked to think this season will be a down year.
Depth? This is probably the teams best depth since Dino got here.I happen to agree. *ducks*
Depth.
Probably not, it's typical Syracuse negativity. I am definitely an optomist, but this team has everything you'd need for a good SU season like 2012 and 2018. Good to great Sr qb, strong receiving threats, improved o line and d line depth. Does anyone remember trotting out Elmore as guard in 2020? Now the entire o line not only has veterans, the 2nd team is upperclassmen as well. The team also has high end ACC talent in Shrader, Wax, Gadsen, Thompson, and Caleb O, along with some other guys who look like they're gonna pop this year in Lowery, Alford and Lequint. On top of steady veteran talent, like Darton, Bleich, Simmons, Barron, I Johnson. That's not even mentioning getting a stud safety in Farmer from Nebraska late in summer transfer. The biggest question is o line, but for once there's depth. Going hard in the transfer portal should pay dividends getting a JUCO stud in Reed, a strong FCS player in Moore, and SEC starter in Wholobaugh. Then adding it to Bleich, and Cruz who appears to be very talented. The good thing about depth is, if any of these guys don't pan out, the 2nd team has depth to push them.Geez.

This team has the tools, I'm thinking 9 wins. This looks like a team with the talent to pull another 2018.
This is the most depth we’ve had in years?I happen to agree. *ducks*

Whomever said college kids were bright?These predictions make sense to me as a student on campus. A lot of the people I have talked to think this season will be a down year.
Literally the only people I know who are optimistic about this season post here. And maybe this place will prove to be correct.
But no one else really pays close enough attention to the program to think we’ll be good with a bunch of unknown portal guys, guys who merely flashed last year, and the returnees who collapsed last season.
When you’ve largely sucked for 20 years, the default expectation is more suck.
Nostalgia isn’t what it used to be eitherThe DO Sports guys covering football aren't what they used to be.
