I've noted this in the past but there are amazing parallels between the fortunes of the two biggest football programs in NY State... The Bills and Orange for those who have no idea what I am talking about.  This week brings another big parallel in that if either team loses this week I think you are seeing tbe beginning of the end for the two head coaches.  For the Orange of they lose to a pretty crappy wake forest team it will undo any good will with a semi-competotive blow out last week against FSU.  Not only that but it also probably eliminates us from bowl contention as Wake is by far the most winnable game left on the schedule.

For the Bills, there are already calls for Hackett's head and rumblings for HCDM to go as well after last weeks loss to the Patsies.  The Bills have clearly mismanaged their Oline which is terrible given their head coach is an ex-oline man.  Additionally it's pretty clear Marrone is playing way too conservatively and not to lose which is the best way to guarantee losses against good teams.  To add to the drama, the Bills have a new owner who might or might not clean house.  The Vikings game this weekend is one of the most winnable games on the schedule and if the Bills lose I think there is no way they make the playoffs without significant changes in strategy.

My prediction, Syracuse wins and the Bills lose.  Hackett gets canned or relieved of his duties and it's the beginning of the end for Marrone.  The orange get a good win against Wake and set up for a bowl game run.
