Virginia hosts Syracuse on Saturday after scoring seven points at Florida State and allowing 76 points in its first two road games; the Cavaliers need stronger leadership and improved play on both sides of the ball. Syracuse comes off a 42-41 overtime win over UConn, led by quarterback Amari Odom’s five touchdown passes and rushing score, with receiver Umari Hatcher and running back Tylik Hill also standing out. Virginia could look to receiver Martin and running back Middlebrook on offense, and linebacker Kam Robinson, safety Minter and pass rusher Fobbs-White on defense. In a separate matchup, Virginia Tech travels to California after a 35-33 loss to Pitt in which four turnovers and a missed potential game-winning field goal overshadowed quarterback Ethan Grunkemeyer’s 434 yards and three touchdowns. The Hokies held Pitt to 295 total yards but did not force a turnover, and Cal’s starting quarterback Jaron-Keawe Sagapolutele’s availability is uncertain.

Undefeated 49ers, Seahawks Set for NFC West Showdown

Ahead of the 49ers-Seahawks matchup, betting previews focus on Seattle receiver Jaxon Smith-Njigba, whose strong early-season production and team-leading target share underpin picks for a high reception total and a potentially sizable yardage day, despite San Francisco’s tough pass defense. Other wagers highlighted include Cooper Kupp as a long-shot first touchdown scorer; a separate fantasy preview discusses Jaylen Waddle against the Chargers and is unrelated.
