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 North Carolina State Wolfpack vs the Syracuse Orangemen...

Number of Players Drafted by the Giants
Syracuse- 9
NC State- 6
Advantage: Cuse, not a bad start

Highest Drafted Giants Player
Syracuse- 19th overall
NC State- 4th overall
Advantage: NC State, who evens up the score

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)

NC State- Philip Rivers QB (2004 1st Round, 4th overall), Gary Downs RB (1994 3rd), Andre Brown RB (2009 4th)

Advantage: NC State, that QB pick played a huge role in two Super Bowl victories for the Giants.

Defensive Players
Syracuse- Will Allen DB (2001 1st Round), Jay Bromley DL (2014 3rd), Jerry Kimmel LB (1986 10th)

NC State- BJ Hill DT (2018 3rd Round), Perry Williams DB (1983 7th), Markus Kuhn (2012 7th)

Advantage: NC State, another 2 time Super Bowl champ in Williams. Kuhn was the first German to ever score an NFL TD.

There you have it folks. The stats don't lie. The Syracuse Orange will fall to the NC State Wolfpack.
