It seems like this is gonna be a blow out, but I'm suspicious. This GT team is not that bad, and the line is very low, making it obvious that money is and will be on Maryland. Gt back up RB is not bad, and their wideouts are sweet, is marylands D that good, cause I know GT isn't too shabby either. I'm starting to lean towards Tech, am I an idiot or is this one gonna be a nail biter.
Everyone is on Maryland, what about GT
- Thread starter Dizzayton
- Start date
I think People are looking too much into Marylands last win and Techs last loss, didn't Suggs get injured and had to leave the game against Wake, People who watched that game, can you give me your opinions.
I agree it is a bit worrisome when so many are on one side. Last yr in the bowl game most were on Stanford which drove the line up a few pts. Then Tech went ahead and easily won the game SU, so it's always a concern. I don't expect a blowout by an means(but i'd gladly take one 
)
but I just think Maryland is as good and a little better than Tech. They are at home and the line is -1.5. So if this game was at a neutral field it would be Tech -1 or so. I don't know if I agree with that. MD has lost to N.D., a team that has covered the spread in every game so far. And they lost to FSU who is almost certainly going to win the ACC and could have easily beat Miami, who most feel is the best team in the land. I don't remember if Suggs was injured but I do remember thinking he did not look good in that game vs WF at all. Also I like going against teams a few games after they lose quality players as I feel teams step up their play when players go down but after a few games I think they start to feel the effects of those lost players. I know Tech is a quality team even w/o Hollings and Gathers but still think MD is a bit better and at home w/less than a fg spread just feel the value is w/ MD.

Somebody must like Tech. My line at Carib has dropped from MD-2 to MD-1. . . . so I bet more on MD. I agree with CrazyHorse and JBBrown2 and their assessments of the game. I think MD has been overlooked or underrated for whatever reasons. I thought the WVU game would have changed that, but I guess not.
The proof will be in the pudding tonight.
As far as Suggs being injured, I watched that game and don't remember him being hurt. His pride maybe, because he was terrible. A buddy of mine actually paid good money to get a services ACC GOY on that game. And they picked Tech. He's an idiot for paying a service to begin with. Needless to say I got to gloat with my free analysis from MadJacks...and the consensus play on Wake Forest.

HEY VOLFAN, I'm thinking GT all the way. They got very good receivers and they are not as thin at RB as people think. What's your take, do you think they have what it takes to steal a road victory. Underdogs and overs have been stellar on Thurs. Nights. And everyone and their mother is on MD.

<I>The Terps of the ACC under Head Coach Ralph Friedgen have played well on the season. Other than a shutout 22-0 loss versus Notre Dame to begin the season, and and at Home 37-10 to Florida State as 15.5 point Dog, the Terps have played well. They've also benefited from an easy schedule the past month. They handled Akron 44-14 at Home in Game Two in a Free Play Winner here, and also covered the Free Play here in Game four at Home to Eastern Michigan, 42-3 as 35 point Favorite. After an easy win at Home to Wofford in an unlined event, they came back and shocked the world with a 48-17 blowout win at West Virginia. The line started at West Virginia -3 and moved to -6, but the outcome was never in doubt as the Terps won wire to wire against the money. Positive trends include 7-0 Against The Spread before Duke (next week), 9-1 ATS Home under Coach Friedgen, and 10-3 ATS versus above average opponents.
The Yellow Jackets of the ACC under new Head Coach Chan Gailey are 4-2 Straight Up and 2-4 ATS on the season. This is their first Dog role after six straight events as the Favorite. Since three of their games have been on the Road, and as Favorite as well, they haven't faced high caliber teams this season. They did play well at Clemson in Game Three, but still lost 24-19 as one point Favorite. Last week they were instilled as 13 point Favorite at Home to Wake Forest, and they lost that one outright, 24-21. Negative trends include 2-7 ATS versus above average teams.</I>
For what it's worth, the individual who wrote this picked the Terps to cover.
GL which ever way you go.
