As has been proven throughout history, the best way to figure out who will win each week is the quality and number of former players drafted by the New York Football Giants. Advanced metrics have shown a strong correlation between the two. They say that 60% of the time, it works every time. So let's take a look at the UNLV Rebels vs the Syracuse Orangemen...
Number of Players Drafted by the Giants
Syracuse- 9
UNLV- 2
Advantage: Cuse, off to the early lead
Highest Drafted Giants Player
Syracuse- 19th overall
UNLV- 117th overall
Advantage: Cuse, great first half for the Orange
Offensive Players
Syracuse- Justin Pugh OL (2013 1st Round, 19th overall), Bruce Tarbox OL (1961 2nd Round), Joe Morris RB (1982 2nd), Ryan Nassib QB (2013 4th), David Tyree WR (2003 6th), Bob Yates OL (1960 7th)
UNLV- Cleveland Jackson TE (1979 5th Round)
Advantage: UNLV, you never bet against a guy who has the same first name as a city. Also Jackson is a unique member of the NFL, CFL, USFL club. Although he didn't make a the final rosters in the later two leagues.
Defensive Players
Syracuse- Will Allen DB (2001 1st Round), Jay Bromley DL (2014 3rd), Jerry Kimmel LB (1986 10th)
UNLV- John Higgins DB (1982 9th Round)
Advantage: Cuse, amazing how we keep winning on the D side of the ball with so little
There you have it folks. The stats don't lie. The Syracuse Orange will pull off the upset victory with general ease. Bye for Now! (he must be rolling in his grave now that the A's are leaving for Vegas).
