Former All Big East Syracuse punter Brendan Carney believes that the Orange is going to go to back-to-back bowl games for the first time since 2013. Carney joined me on this week's The Juice on the Cuse Podcast, presented by Rivals.com, and believes the last five games of the season will dictate whether SU will get to the postseason.

"They're all winnable games," Carney said. "I'm going to go out on a limb and say seven wins, maybe eight this year. And definitely bowl bound."

We also chatted about his thoughts on conference realignment, who he believes will have a breakout year, and, of course, what to make of SU's special teams.

Afterward, editor Jim Stechschulte calls in to discuss the most critical stat to Syracuse's success this season, and his win/loss prediction for the 2023 season.
