The top-ranked Syracuse Orangemen (20-0) have to go on the road to keep their perfect record intact, but the college basketball betting odds seem to indicate that they’ll be able to pass their 6:00 PM ET road test against the Notre Dame Fighting Irish (11-8).
Syracuse is a 9-point favorite right now, while the total sits at 134.5.
Notre Dame has played impressively while going 10-1 at home this season, and they’ll be trying to give a Syracuse squad that has gone 6-0 on the road their first loss of the season.
Although the Orangemen have gone 13-6 against the betting odds this season and the Fighting Irish have gone just 3-8-2, bet-tracking websites are actually showing that there is close to a 50/50 split amongst wagers here.
