Syracuse vs. Army: Crystal Ball Predictions
LIAM (2-0): Syracuse 31, Army 17 It’s going to be one heck of an environment in the Dome on Saturday. Dino Babers might have exaggerated a little bit when he said that Army fans could outnumber Syracuse fans, but playing against a service academy is always a unique experience, especially when it coincides on your…

Syracuse vs. Purdue: Crystal Ball Predictions
FRANCESCO (2-0) (EXEMPT FROM PREDICTION): This is Syracuse’s first test of the season, that’s the headline of this game. Colgate and Western Michigan were one thing. SU outscored them by a combined 113-7. This is a Big 10 opponent. Sure, Purdue isn’t Ohio State, it’s not Michigan, but it will certainly be a physical test…

Syracuse vs. Western Michigan: Crystal Ball Predictions
ETHAN (1-0): Syracuse 38, Western Michigan 14 The Orange are going to continue the easier portion of their schedule with a resounding win over the Broncos, a step up from Colgate in week 1, but still a team that is not on the level of SU. With the team mostly healthy, keeping it that way…

The Syracuse Crystal (Basket)Ball: Jesse Edwards
Out of the five returning players, there is one Syracuse fans have lauded for his growth and sudden improvement. That makes Jesse Edwards the tone setter for next year‚Äôs SU team. If the big man plays similarly or better than last season (pre-injury), then the Orange can rest on their surrounding talent and worry less…

Recruiting Expert Predicts Huntley-Hatfield to Tennessee
Undoubtedly, Brandon Huntley-Hatfield has been one of the most notable recruitments by Syracuse in years. He is a consensus top-10 recruit in the country, and also the best power forward for his class. Predictably, the competition has been steep. Syracuse jumped into the fray in December and had picked up some steam in recent weeks.…

NC State vs. Syracuse: Crystal Ball Predictions
Brad (9-0): NC State 38, Syracuse 13 The story of the season for Syracuse has been the offense leaving the defense out to dry. Tony White’s 3-3-5 system has seen more snaps than any other team in the ACC this season (80.5 per game). The ACC defense with the second most reps this year is,…
-
Syracuse vs. Louisville: Crystal Ball Predictions
Brad (8-0): Louisville 27, Syracuse 17 Typically, I would not project this many points for a Cardinal offense that is without their starting quarterback Malik Cunningham after a brutal leg injury and star running back Javian Hawkins, who opted out for the rest of the season. But the Orange 3-3-5 base defense has shown some…
-
Wake Forest vs. Syracuse: Crystal Ball Predictions
Brad (6-0): Wake Forest 35, Syracuse 24 I can see why some Syracuse fans want to pick the Orange to win this game. After last week’s showing against Clemson, I would be lying if I told you I didn’t hesitate in making this pick. But I’m undefeated in my selections this year. There’s no way…
-
Liberty vs. Syracuse: Crystal Ball Predictions
Brad (4-0): Liberty 24, Syracuse 20 This is one of the most difficult games to predict on Syracuse’s calendar. Liberty’s run game should flex against the 3-3-5 defense that gave up over 360 rushing yards to Duke last week. On top of that, the Orange are relying on redshirt senior quarterback Rex Culpepper in his…
-
Duke vs. Syracuse: Crystal Ball Predictions
John (3-0): Syracuse 31, Duke 20 Somehow, someway Vegas like Duke to win this game. Babers and company have come to adapt the underdog mentality and once again beat the spread, but outright. The offense excels once again behind quick strikes and a balanced attack. Sean Tucker goes for another 100 and DeVito connects with…

Georgia Tech vs. Syracuse: Crystal Ball Predictions
Jaron (2-0): Georgia Tech 24, Syracuse 17 Let‚Äôs first put this out there– if Syracuse is going to win an ACC game this season, this is going to be the one. Now that that has been said, it‚Äôs still not going to happen. Both of these teams are bottom feeders in the conference and have…
-
Syracuse vs. Pittsburgh: Crystal Ball Predictions
Jaron (1-0): Pittsburgh 27, Syracuse 13 When Syracuse and Pittsburgh get together it is always a close game. Six of the last eight meetings between the two teams finished within a touchdown or less. This year, however, things are different. The Syracuse offensive line looked terrible against North Carolina, which had a trickle down effect…

Syracuse vs Pittsburgh: Crystal Ball Predictions
The Fizz was split on NC State last week. Now with another toss-up of a conference game on the calendar it’s time to see what they think will happen this week. Jonathon Hoppe (5-1): Pittsburgh 38, Syracuse 28:¬† At some point, we have to accept this Orange team for what it is. While I think…

Syracuse vs NC State: Crystal Ball Predictions
Tim Leonard (5-0)¬†Syracuse 27, NC State 20 This game is so huge. It honestly feels like its worth two wins tonight for Syracuse based on where it falls in their season. And the same can be said about NC State. These are two teams that have underwhelmed since the loss of star quarterbacks last year.…

Syracuse vs Western Michigan: Crystal Ball Predictions
Everyone on the Fizz had the easy win last week with Clemson, now it’s time to see how they think Syracuse will fare against Western Michigan Saturday afternoon. Jonathon Hoppe (2-1): Syracuse 30, Western Michigan 17 There‚Äôs one thing we need to see on Saturday (other than a win): a poised Tommy Devito. The Sophomore…

One of the biggest games in Syracuse football history is finally here. After a toss-up in week two, the Fizz predicts the big game. Jonathon¬†Hoppe (1-1): Clemson 48, Syracuse 27 One of the biggest weekends in the history of Syracuse University is here. Unfortunately, the Orange are a .500 team after a performance I didn‚Äôt…

Syracuse at Maryland: Crystal Ball Predictions
After an easy 1-0 start to the season for everyone on the Fizz staff, this week at Maryland is a total toss-up. Syracuse opened as four-point favorites on most gambling sites but has now shifted to two-point underdogs. Here’s how the Fizz sees this critical matchup going down. Tim Leonard (1-0): Maryland 20, Syracuse 17.All…

Jonathon Hoppe (0-0): Syracuse 35, Liberty 17 There‚Äôs only one real reason to believe Liberty can upset Syracuse on Saturday: fourth-year quarterback Buckshot Calvert has a career day with the…

It’s finally that time. Syracuse football is back and that means it’s time for The Fizz’s annual crystal ball picks. Last season, only one of our writers hit the nail on the head with a 4-8 record. The other five all finished a game off. AKA, if Syracuse didn’t allow Wake Forest to close out…

2017 Syracuse Football Crystal Ball Predictions
The Orange is on the heels of a 4-8 season, which three of our writers correctly predicted last year. This season, there was little parity on The Fizz staff with how 2017 will shape up. Logan Grossman: 4-8 Prediction: More of the same. This time it may not necessarily be Syracuse‚Äôs fault. The Orange very…
