Orange Spotlight

The Syracuse Orange couldn’t get the home win against the Virginia Cavaliers, while losing their second-straight game ATS. Offensively on the road, the Orange rank 98th in points per game, 215th in field goal percentage, and 224th in 3-point shooting. Defensively on the road, the Orange rank 173rd in points allowed, 79th in field goal percentage, 139th in 3-point shooting, and 214th in rebounding. 

Hurricanes Spotlight

The Miami Hurricanes just pulled off their seventh-straight victory, this time getting a victory over ACC rival the Wake Forest Demon Deacons. Offensively at home, the Hurricanes rank 121st in points per game, 100th in field goal percentage, and 125th in 3-point shooting.

Final Say

Syracuse was just tripped up against Virginia at home as 3.5-point favorites, and they have now lost two-straight games ATS, while they are 1-4 ATS in their last five games. They are also a dreadful 2-7 ATS in their last nine road games. Miami has been rolling through their competition winning seven-straight, and they show up against the big schools where they’ve gone 4-1 ATS in their five meetings with a power conference team this season. They have also won six-straight at home, and are 6-0 ATS in their last six meetings with an ACC opponent. Syracuse is lacking momentum heading to Miami, while Miami is playing their best basketball at the moment. Roll with the Hurricanes to continue their win streak.

Pick: Miami Hurricanes -2
