Maryland +3 (-115) *2Units*
If you follow our blog, a couple days ago I expressed why I didn't like Boise to win. Same type of thing with Marshall. On paper they look great. 9-4 record, a very strong balanced offence, and one of the highest scoring teams in the country. But, everybody knows that this game isn't played on paper. They are in a weak division where they can dominate teams at will. But when they played outside of their division this year, they went a modest 2-3.
Minn/Syracuse Over 48 (-110)
I can see why the o/u is so low (by college standards). These two teams are very similar in the way they play. Both have a relatively average passing game in an offence that is run-dominated, and they both average less than 27 points against per game. However, both teams have game-changers at the running back position. David Cobb on Minn wasn't even on the coaches radar going into camp this year. Now, he's coming off a 1000+ yard season. As for Syracuse, Jerome Smith had over 800 yards on the ground with 11 rushing tds. I've got a hunch that with such focus on the running game, the passing game will open up and lead to big-play opportunities.
