NC State vs. Syracuse Prediction, Odds, Spread and Over/Under for College Football Week 7

Before the season, North Carolina State's road trip to Syracuse probably wasn't thought of as a marquee matchup, but now the undefeated Orange host the No. 15 Wolfpack in what should be a compelling matchup in ACC play.

The Wolfpack escaped with a home win against Florida State, but also may have lost quarterback Devin Leary for the foreseeable future due to a shoulder injury. How will that impact this matchup against a strong Syracuse offense off of a bye?

Here are the consensus odds for this matchup in Western New York:

North Carolina State vs. Syracuse Prediction and Pick

This is one of the many games on the Week 7 card that has quarterback uncertainty but it does seem like Leary is going to miss this one as he was spotted in a sling during the second half of the win against Florida State.

We'll see if Leary goes, but I'm skeptical. Meanwhile, the backup quarterback Jack Chambers didn't complete a pass in the second half. The Wolfpack needed two interceptions to cap off a win and I think that there are even more struggles on Saturday on the road.

This is a Syracuse offense that has been dynamic under first year coordinator Robert Anae, top 30 in yards per play and success rate and should be able to do enough to out score a NC State offense that will be listless without Leary. Not to mention, NC State has had a tough stretch of games, playing at Clemson, Florida State and now on the road against a well rested Syracuse group.
