Garrett Shrader QB vs. Jordan Travis QB
Syracuse quarterback Garrett Shrader has been an impressive force this season for the Orange. Completer of 102 of 158 attempts with 1272 passing yards to show for it and an average completion percentage of 64.6% speaks volumes of his precision and ability to read the game well. Yet some aspects need tightening; with 5 interceptions this season and 14 sacks taken, his vulnerability to turnovers is evident; though his longest pass of 86 yards shows off his deep throwing skills; to truly help tilt games in Syracuse’s favor he must maintain consistency, avoid turnovers, utilize key receivers effectively, and utilize key receivers in order to succeed and ensure Syracuse victory!
Florida State quarterback Jordan Travis has also been playing well, posting an outstanding passer rating of 158.8 to demonstrate his exceptional-level play. Travis has completed 92 out of 145 attempts for 1198 passing yards – an 8.3 average for each attempt! Perhaps most remarkable of all is Travis’s remarkable touchdown to interception ratio. Travis has demonstrated exceptional decision-making skills with 12 touchdowns to just 1 interception over his first 12 starts for Syracuse. Furthermore, his ability to reduce losses, evidenced by only 5 sacks and -27 yards lost as evidence of pocket awareness is testament to this performance. With such strong numbers coming against an equally tough defense in Syracuse’s defense system, this quarterback battle should make for one of the most anticipated moments of any football game!

Syracuse Orange Betting Trends
Syracuse’s performance of late has been somewhat unpredictable; they’ve gone UNDER in five of their most recent matches while their home record remains 4-2 but Florida State have won 10 out of the 11 meetings between the teams; their road record even more concerning as they’ve lost and failed to cover in six of their games against teams from the Atlantic Coast Conference – trends which may make bettors wary when considering this team.
Florida State Seminoles Betting Trends
Florida State is in great form as evidenced by their betting trends: covering the spread in 13 of their last 20 games and currently on an 11-game win streak is testament to this fact. Notably, 6 out of their last home games saw their total go over, suggesting their offensive capabilities. Their dominance of Syracuse at home also bodes well.
Syracuse Orange vs. Florida State Seminoles 10/14/23 Betting Picks
