Rutgers +24 at Maryland

[Groz]

That is the line right now.

Probably about what it should be to balance the money, but we will have to hit a decent amount of shots to keep it within 24. I'm guessing we probably lose by about 28-30. Hope not, but have to be realistic.

Best of Luck,

Maryland has had a habit of not playing great against lesser competition (like Rider and Cleveland State)

If Melo Trimble is healthy, this line will move to 30. Not sure what side to take.

wow..thats a huge line

remember last year RU played two competitive games vs Maryland..down at their place which was the closest and then at the RAC where Maryland pulled away late..but then we had Mack and Jack who we don't have now.

Maryland also struggled against Penn State..they were down at home by 8 I think with 8 minutes to go. In their 2nd game they led a very good Northwestern by 20 at half but then let up a bit in the 2nd half

I expect the game to be over 20 but probably within 30, its a game I wouldn't touch because a few baskets here or there in garbage time determines the final outcome

His status was never in doubt so the line won't move that much. Maybe by a point or two. I actually like Rutgers to cover. MD should win handidly, but we tend to come out slow (outside of NW last week) and play down to opponents.

I watched their game against Rider. They looked completely disinterested and trailed much of the game. Their superior talent won out in the end

Have you seen many Maryland games since the 3rd game of the season? The Terps' average margin of victory in its 10 wins since beating Rider is 20 points.

I'd be more worried taking RU +24 than laying the points with MD in this one.

Should be an interesting game thread. Comments will not be very supportive of Eddie and his staff to say the least.

We will cover the spread.
