I have WF as the better team in my preseason power ratings even after the home field adjustment. Syracuse really does not have as much of a home field advantage as some other teams do.
This game is an example of the type of matchup that I look for in the early part of the season. WF had a down year from its recent form. They have a good coach in Jim Grobe who has been able to improve them after other poor seasons. Syracuse over achieved last season. They do have a good coach in Doug Marrone. I look for a regression to the mean for both teams.
A little discussion on betting lines. The concensus on the Wafe Forest/Syracuse game is now 6. I could have gotten +7 but I was a little slow on the trigger. It is up to you if you want to take the 6 or not but I played at +6.5. I think that there is value since I do believe that WF is the better team. If there is a game where you can get say +3.5 but you are a little late and the number is now +3 then you have to really consider if you still want to play it or not. If the number falls to +2.5 then it probably is no longer a play.
Saturday's plays will be posted late Thursday night.
Good Luck
