Cornell Big Red will have a tough task on their hands on Saturday, December 19, when they head to the Carrier Dome in Syracuse, New York to face the Syracuse Orange in non-conference action.

How to Bet Cornell Big Red Vs Syracuse Orange
The straight up in the favor of Syracuse would suggest that this may be a pretty one-sided affair. You have to decide whether or not it’s a risk or a potential reward to take the Cornell Big Red versus the spread. Perhaps it might be safer still to look at where the point total in this one might fall when compared to the OVER/UNDER.Why bet on Cornell Big Red
Cornell have to be coming in on a bit of a high after putting back to back wins that put them a game over .500 at 5-4 SU. In reality, though, they also have to be thinking about the fact that they are just 1-4 on the road so far this season. They have not done a good job of covering away from home, and are 0-7-1 ATS in their last 8 road games. If there is a decent bet to be had with Cornell, it may well be with the UNDER, which has gone 6-2 in the last 8 road games for the Big Red, and 16-6 overall. Cornell are averaging 76.4 PPG, but are giving up 80.8 PPG.
