Sports betting online on the Syracuse football team should not be popular this week as they faces 14th-ranked Pittsburgh. The Orange had one player quit the team this week while another three were suspended. Syracuse is more than a three-touchdown underdog at Pittsburgh in sports betting.
Sportsbetting online had Syracuse losing star wide receiver Mike Williams when he quit earlier this week. Now the team is going to be without three other players in this sports betting online contest against Pittsburgh as head coach Doug Marrone suspended running back Antwon Bailey, defensive end Torrey Ball and offensive guard Andrew Tiller. The three were suspended for violating team rules. The reality of the situation is that a car driven by Tiller was involved in an accident on Sunday.
Williams, Bailey and Ball were also in the car. What happened is unclear but obviously something happened since Williams quit the team after the accident while the other three players were suspended. Syracuse is also going to be without defensive end Jared Kimmel this sportsbetting online week as Kimmel will have season-ending knee surgery. About the only good sportsbetting online news for Syracuse is that they will get center Jim McKenzie back on Saturday. He had missed the last three sportsbetting games with an injury.
Syracuse is 3-5 on the season and 4-4 against the sportsbetting online pointspread this season. The Orange has played most of their games at home this season but they did cover the sportsbetting online number in their one road game.
Syracuse has been led this sportsbetting online season by Delone Carter who has nine touchdowns. He leads the team in rushing as well as sportsbetting stats show. Greg Paulus started the season well at quarterback but has struggled lately. Losing Williams is definitely not going to help in sports betting online. Syracuse has been very poor offensively as sports betting online stats show, as they rank 106th in the country. Their defense isn’t anything special either as they rank 83rd in the country in total points allowed as sports betting statistics indicate. That could spell trouble on Saturday against a Pittsburgh team that is rolling along in sports betting online. The Panthers are one of the hottest teams in the country and are starting to get respect in the polls as they are in the Top 20.
