wake forest + points---
last year md. handily beat wf 32-14, but that was after wake accepted a bowl game & didn't have much motivation for that game. this year md. has accepted a gator bowl bid, & after their dramatic victory last week vs ncst., i don't see md.playing at their best.
in looking into this game, i noticed that on the road, maryland turns the ball over at a rather poor rate of 2.6 times a game while forcing only 1.2 times a game, which is the amount that wake turns the ball over at home.
at home wake has a pretty good yppt rate of 12.6 on offense, while their defense yields 17.7 yppt. on the road maryland's rate is 17.7 yppt on offense & 16.5 on defense.
wake is 8-1-2 ats as a home dog off a su/ats loss & 3-1 ats in a revenger roll under grobe.
md. is 1-4 ats on the road this year & the home team is 8-2 in maryland games.
i think that the line is off because of wake's poor showing in their last game vs. conn. as a favorite & md's dramatic come from behind win last week. wake had last week off & had a chance to re-focus on today's game with a chance for a bowl bid with a win.
i think this game goes to the wire & will take the points.
good luck
