Syracuse 63 West Virginia 57

Pinstripe Bowl: West Virginia (7-5) vs. Syracuse (7-5)
Amazingly, the first team All-America quarterback in this game is not Mountaineers star Geno Smith, but Pro Football Weekly selection Ryan Nassib (3,619 yards, 24 touchdowns, nine interceptions). The Orange's touted draft prospect should have a field day against the nation's 119th-rated pass efficiency defense, as the Orange will outlast Smith, Tavon Austin and Co.

But was was the dude's prediction?

 

[44PRIDE]

And when the final whistle sounds, they can all go suck a fat one as we hoist the Steinbrenner trophy.

 

[Noexcuse]

Most are predicting a pretty high scoring game. I'm going with Mandel's prediction.

 

[GoSU96]

My guess is WVU by 10, I'm not sure the defense is going to bring that much pressure and I don't think SU can match scores with WVU if WVU gets on a roll.

That could change if Broms and Goggins can get push up the middle.

Someone print this out and hang it in the locker room ASAP! Apparently no one watched the game last year either ...

He's an idiot. What I saw mid season should have been apparent to those who are paid to watch those eight teams.

Wow a lot of high scoring predictions. I took Cuse and the under. Go Cuse!
