Syracuse football predictions poll vs South Florida

Syracuse Orange and South Florida Bulls face off at Boca Raton Bowl. Predictions favor Syracuse in a close game.

The Syracuse Orange and South Florida Bulls are set to face off at the Boca Raton Bowl, with the sun already set in the Sunshine State Thursday night. The question on everyone's mind is whether SU will come out on top for its 17th all-time postseason win. Here are our predictions:

Kevin predicts that Syracuse will win 24-23 in a sloppy game where the Orange offense uses the ground attack to keep the USF offense at bay. A punt return gives the Bulls the lead, but a two-point play with a wildcat pitch and an option run seals the win for Syracuse.

Steve is also predicting a Syracuse win, with a final score of 21-17. Despite concerns about the defense, he believes the Orange offense will find a way to secure the win and finish the season 7-6.

Mike, on the other hand, predicts a higher-scoring game with Syracuse winning 34-28. He anticipates a battle between two persistent offenses, with the Orange ultimately coming out on top with a game-winning interception by Alijah Clark.

Dom, however, predicts a 24-20 win for South Florida, expressing concerns about Syracuse's ability to exploit USF's defensive weaknesses and questioning whether the Orange's magic on offense will cool off after a long hiatus.

Max predicts a 28-24 win for Syracuse, drawing on the ThunderCat offense's success against Pitt and the Bulls' defensive vulnerabilities to support his prediction.

With these varied predictions, it's clear that the outcome of the game is uncertain, but all eyes will be on the Boca Raton Bowl to see which team will emerge victorious.
