Week 4 of the 2022 NCAA college football season includes an ACC showdown between the Virginia Cavaliers and Syracuse Orange. Virginia snuck by Old Dominion by a score of 16-14 last week to capture its second win of the year. The Cavaliers logged 231 yards on the ground to pace the offense.

Meanwhile, a passing touchdown by quarterback Garrett Schrader with just seconds left on the game clock guided Syracuse to a thrilling 32-29 win over the Purdue Boilermakers on Saturday. It kept the Orange's hopes of an undefeated season alive heading into pivotal ACC conference showdowns.

Virginia vs Syracuse Prediction & Pick

These are two teams heading in completely different directions. Virginia entered the season with high expectations, yet got crushed by Illinois and barely got by Old Dominion at home. On the other side, Syracuse has all the momentum in the world and is putting together its best offensive attack in years.

This battle is going to come down to which defense can cause more issues. Both the Cavaliers and Orange are giving up around 350 yards per game and are allowing less than 20 points per game. With the support of the home crowd behind them, I trust Syracuse will pull away in the second half.

Final Score Prediction: Virginia: 20 | Syracuse: 31

This spread is high, but that shouldn't scare bettors away from backing the Orange. Virginia is 0-4 against the spread (ATS) in its last four games, while Syracuse is 10-3 ATS in its last 13 games. The Orange are also 7-1 ATS in their last eight home games. They love playing at JMA Wireless Dome.

This Syracuse teams is starting to have a special feel to it. Schrader looks much improved as a passer and running back Sean Tucker is well on his way to ACC accolades as one of the conference's brightest stars. He has already tallied 378 yards from scrimmage and 3 touchdowns this season.

Bet: Syracuse Orange -10 (-110)
