Overview

  • Kickoff is 7 p.m. ET at the JMA Wireless Dome on ACC Network, with streaming via DirecTV Stream, Fubo, Hulu + Live TV and Sling.
  • Syracuse listed RB Yasin Willis, S Devin Grant and RB Malachi James as inactive, leaving four available running backs for the matchup.
  • The line sits around Syracuse −37.5, and Dimers.com’s simulations favor the Orange with a 98% win probability and a score projection near 50–13; New York law bars wagering on in‑state college teams.
  • The Orange enter 1–1 after a 27–20 overtime win at UConn led by QB Steve Angeli’s 416 passing yards and two touchdowns.
  • Colgate is 0–2 under first‑year coach Curt Fitzpatrick, led by QB Zach Osborne and WR Treyvhon Saunders, and Syracuse carries a 17‑game series win streak with a 32–31–5 edge all‑time.
