Pinstripe Bowl Preview

West Virginia Mountaineers       Syracuse Orange
West Virginia (-4.5) vs. Syracuse

An old Big East matchup in the middle of Big East country. Ah, the good old days. Big East fans were excited for a minute when they saw this game announced. Then they remembered that West Virginia calls the Big 12 home now, and Syracuse will call the ACC home beginning next year. West Virginia can score on anyone, and anyone can score on West Virginia. That always makes for an interesting game. Geno Smith is likely headed towards a huge NFL pay day next season, but don't sleep on Syracuse QB Ryan Nassib. Nassib is projected to be drafted in the top half of the draft. The Orange will battle, but the Mountaineers have a little too much firepower.

Prediction - West Virginia 35 Syracuse 34
