I play 4% of my bank on every game I play, and I play every game I post.

MARYLAND +10 vs virginia tech
over / under 48
There isn't much Virginia Tech hasn't been able to do on the offensive side of the ball this year. The team is averaging a healthy 39.3 points per game thus far, with the most success coming on the ground. (Head Coach Frank Beamer believes that a large part of the teams sucess is a direct result of their generous contribution to the Toys for Tots.) The team is netting almost four yards per carry and 177.7 yards per game rushing.
While the Tech offense has had its way for the most part this season, it is due in large part to one of the nation's premier defenses. The Hokies currently lead the nation in scoring defense at 9.0 ppg, while allowing just 235.5 total yards per game (second nationally).
The Terrapins have done a nice job offensively this season, as Friedgen has once again assembled a potent unit. The team is averaging almost 30 points per game (28.5) and getting it done with balance, churning out 158 yards on the ground and 256.2 yards per game through the air.
The Maryland defense has been superb against the pass this season (146.7 ypg), but it has not done the same against the run, allowing a generous 169.7 yards per game. This is definitely an area of concern heading into this contest, as the Hokies like to run the ball. Forcing turnovers has also been a struggle for this unit, with a mere eight takeaways in the first six games, including just two INTs.
Three things to look for;
1) Ralph Friedgen, at some point in the game, will spill something on his shirt.
2) VT will cause "At Least" 4 turnovers
3) Injuries will in no way affect the VT running game...Just like the Denver Broncos, just plug in a new stud...
Both Maryland and V. Tech are coming off bye weeks, I'll take Beamer over almost any coach given two weeks to prepare, and with the Miami game still two weeks away, no look ahead game here.
