Butler vs. Syracuse Betting Odds at Sweet 16 Action

(5) Butler vs. (1) Syracuse Betting Odds and analysis at BSN Sports, your sports betting news source.

The Butler Bulldogs and Syracuse Orange will square off with a place in the Elite Eight on the line, this Thursday at 7:10pm ET.

In two NCAA Tournament games, Syracuse has done just about everything possible to prove it was worthy of a top seed, recording a pair of 20+ point victories over Vermont and No. 18 Gonzaga in the absence of starting center Arinze Onuaku. In the team's dismantling of Gonzaga, Syracuse showed off an efficient, if not deadly, offense picking apart a very capable defensive group.

Butler fought off a tough Murray State team, and a poor shooting performance in the second round of the NCAA Tournament betting while advancing to the Sweet Sixteen for just the second time in the history of the program.

Bodog Sportsbook currently have Syracuse 6-point favorite with a total of 138½.
