Maryland
gets their first real test of the year as they host the Mountaineers from West
Virginia. BetUs
Sportsbook has West Virginia
as a 16.5 point favorite with a total of 65.
Each team is 2-0. West
Virginia disposed of Western Michigan
and exploded in the second half to thrash Marshall.
Maryland, to
say the least, had a pair of tune-ups with easy wins over Villanova and Florida
International.
First half bettors
will want to note that WVU is only outscoring their
first two opponents by 17-13.5 in the first half. Former California Vulcan Jeff
Casteel is the defensive coordinator at West Virginia
and must improve on a defense that is allowing 4.8 yards per pass.
The Mountaineers have won the last three in the series, by
21, 12 and three in reverse chronological order. However, Terps coach Ralph
Friedgen has a 4-3 overall edge over Rich Rodriquez.
Look for short, high-percentage passes from Maryland.
Signal caller Jordan Steffy has completed 74 percent
of his passes. Deep threat Darrius Heyward-Bey will keep the defense honest. He will test the porous WVU
secondary with his 4.23 40-yard dash speed.
