As has been proven throughout the annals of time, the best way to predict the outcome of this game we call football is to delve into 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 Pitt Panthers vs the Syracuse Orangemen...

Number of Players Drafted by the Giants
Syracuse- 9
Pitt- 9
Advantage: Push, no winner here

Highest Drafted Giants Player
Syracuse- 19th overall
Pitt- 25th overall
Advantage: Push, the difference is negligible

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)

Pitt- Frank Souchak WR (1938 6th), Adam Bisnowaty OL (2017 6th), Ed Adamchik OL (1963 12th), Bobby Epps RB (1954 14th)

Advantage: Cuse, Tyree alone wins this one. And he is part of the tradition of Syracuse being WR U.

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

Pitt- John Chickerneo LB/P (1939 3rd), Kieth Hamilton DL (1992 4th), Lou Slaby LB (1963 5th), Bill Neill DL (1981 5th), John Carter DL (1988 5th)

Advantage: Pitt, Hamilton is 4th all time in Sacks and helped the G-Men reach SB XXXV. Slaby was on the NFL's all rookie team before getting injury in his 2nd season.

There you have it folks. The stats don't lie. This game will end up in a tie... oh wait this just in: Hamilton has failed a drug test so that negates the defensive W. Which means that the Syracuse Orange will beat the Pitt Panthers. Until next time.
