While the Syracuse Orange suffered a shocking early-season loss against the Colgate Raiders, they should have no trouble getting through the Richmond Spiders. The game will be played at Barclays Center, a neutral site, however, the crowd should be very friendly to the Orange. Expect Syracuse to take advantage by winning this contest by at least five points.
