GameThread: Syracuse Orange (8-2) vs. Notre Dame Fighting Irish (10-0)

The No. 12 Syracuse Orange (8-2, 5-2) are back in action this Saturday! And if they want to continue their four-game winning streak, they’ll have to get through the No. 3 Notre Dame Fighting Irish (10-0, N/A). An upset victory here would set up SU to likely go to the Peach Bowl, and would also knock the Irish out of the Playoff picture.

Notre Dame is favored by 10.5 points in this one, and the over/under is 64 points. SU’s 7-3 (8-2 if you got the right line on UConn) against the spread, though... just in case bettors were curious.

Kickoff is at 2:30 p.m. ET from Yankee Stadium — or NBC for those of us at home.
