3 STAR: Virginia Tech (-10) OVER MARYLAND

Risking $330 to win $300

Line from BetJamacia on 10/19/05

The Hokies beat Maryland in Blacksburg last season 55-6 and I don't see why they won't beat them by double digits on the road. The Maryland offense has been okay this season and they have put up some big numbers in some games, but they have not faced a defense like Virginia Tech's that is number one in the nation in scoring defense allowing only 9 points per game. On the other side of the ball, the Maryland defense has been solid against the pass, but they struggle to stop the run and Mike Imoh (will play) should be able to put up some big numbers on the ground. I don't see the home field advantage being very big here as Maryland is only 1-4 against the spread in their last five home games. I'll lay the points!
