From the booth

The model favored SYR to win, and the call missed.

Syracuse comes in favored in this one, sitting at 59 percent to take down Cal, and the smart money agrees with the model here. The Orange get a small lift from Vegas, which has them as a three and a half point favorite, but here's the thing, folks, both teams are showing some real warts lately. California's been a little more efficient on offense over the last five games while Syracuse's point differential hasn't been pretty, so this one's gonna come down to execution when these conference rivals square off.
