More betting previews for your daily wager from your grandmaster Joe Duffy and elite online bookmaker MyBookie. Syracuse versus Maryland is among the contests we preview. Maryland is -1.5 at Bovada, with a total of 57.5 a significant line move after Syracuse opened at -2.5 at Betonline, home of the opening line. The starting total was 58.

Fifty-six percent of bets and 59 percent of handle is on Maryland.

A win for the Maryland Terrapins last weekend was not totally unexpected, but it would certainly have been a bit of a relief after they closed out last season with 4 straight losses. Yes, it was a game against lowly Howard in the opening week, but a 79-0 win is nothing to be sneezed at, no matter who the competition is.

Onward to a preview of Northern Illinois vs. Utah. Utah is -21.5 and 44.5 at MyBookie. This opened at Utah -23 and 43.5. Sixty-three percent of bets are on Utah, but 53 percent of the money is on NIU.

S you can see by the point spread for this one, this is a game that is going to be a bit of an uphill battle for the Huskies. They are, though, coming off a 24-10 win over Illinois State, a game that they started as a 7-point favorite. If you are looking to wager a little money on the Huskies this weekend, it may well be against the spread where your best betting opportunities exist.
Northern Illinois are 8-3 SU, but the strength of opposition here makes a straight win seem unlikely. The Huskies have been a very solid bet away from home, covering the spread in 4 of their last 5 road games. They are also a healthy 5-1 ATS in their last 6 games played in Week 2. In September games, 4 of the last 5 have gone UNDER for the Huskies.

Cal won their regular season opener by getting past he UC Davis Aggies 27-13 last weekend after largely struggling the entire first half. After going into the break up, just 13 on UC Davis, the Bears put two touchdowns on the board in the second half while shutting down the Aggies to the tune of just one, second half field goal. Quarterback Chase Garbers passed for 238 yards with two touchdowns and one interception, but it was running back Christopher Brown’s big day that lifted the bears to victory by rushing for a career-high 197 yards and one score on 36 carries.
“We knew Chris would get the ball a lot,” Bears coach Justin Wilcox said. “That’s what we expect of him. He’s a big, physical guy and this is his type of game. Give it to him and let him break tackles. Probably more touches and more yards than he had all last year. He’s been preparing for this.”
