Man I’m torn on this... initial thoughts are LU 35 - 20. However our offense only put up 13 points on Saturday. So part of me wants to say something more like 20-12 😂. So I’m gonna just go with

Flames 🔥 34
Orange 🍊 20

I feel like we win that Rutgers game had we had MW. I swear the man is good for 2-3 wins just because of his presence. That’s probably why I’m drinking the koolaod against a depleted orange squad

We were manhandled by Rutgers offensive line last year. If that's the case against the Orange then it will be a task to shut down the run game. If we commit to that with our safeties, look out for us getting burned on play action. I'm having a tough time being objective with my prediction. This will be our best chance to beat an ACC team.

LU 24
SU 21

Be a homer. Be a homer. Be homer.
I can't.
We will keep it interesting but missing extra points or field goals.
No red zone finishes.

Praying I am wrong:
SU 37
LU 34

I see the 3-3-5 defense confusing Willis and the Liberty offense. I want to pick Liberty so badly but I still think we are a year or two away. I am concerned their rush will force 1 or 2 Liberty turnovers. Maybe I am burned by being at the Rutgers game last year with the circumstances eerily similar. On a 4 or 5 game winning streak. Other team season in turmoil to where they are at a low. And playing at home. Syracuse 24, Liberty 14.

LU yards 310

Their 3-3-5 didn't prove to be particularly confusing to an 0-4 Duke team that was averaging 17 ppg before they scored 38 against the Orange last week, but It's an ACC team on the road, so IMHO a win would still be an upset.
