Liberty vs. Syracuse Prediction, Odds and Spread for College Football Week 4

The Liberty Flames are undefeated at 3-0. After going 10-1 last season and being ranked as high as 17th in the AP Poll, Liberty has made a name for itself in just its fourth year at the FBS level.

The Syracuse Orange are coming off a big bounce-back win, smashing FCS Albany 62-24. Syracuse running back Sean Tucker ran for 125 yards and four touchdowns and caught three more passes for 126 receiving yards and another touchdown in that game. It's hard to imagine him replicating that performance.

Liberty vs. Syracuse Prediction

Liberty quarterback Malik Willis may be one of the best players, if not the best, player in the country. In the first three games, Willis has completed 71 percent of his passes, is yet to throw an interception, and is responsible for 11 total touchdowns. 

Syracuse’s defense has looked respectable in its first three games, but that was against the Ohio Bobcats, the Rutgers Scarlet Knights and the Albany Great Danes. The Flames are exceedingly tougher competition.

Tucker was amazing for the Orange last week, but Liberty currently allows just 58 rushing yards per game, 18th-best in the country.

I’m hammering the Flames at -5.5.
