ESPN Matchup Predictor: Syracuse has a 34.2% chance to win.
Syracuse enters the 2021 season following back to back losing campaigns. After a 10 win 2018 season, the Orange has gone 5-7 and 1-10 in the last two years. Getting back to a bowl game would be significant for the program's direction. A season opening win over Ohio was a step in the right direction. Now the Orange is back in front of its home fans with current Big Ten member and former Big East rival Rutgers coming to town.
Rutgers topped Temple 61-14 in its season opener.
