Thur.. V.T. vs Maryland

#1 10-17-2005, 03:01 AM

line is V.T. -10.5 for game.
WHY is it this low..is this good to jump on?
Cant think of ANY reason why V.T. cant cover this
in the 1st half alone.

I'd pick VT, but I have made every pick wrong in the past two weeks. So that should be a good enough reason to pick MD. I don't see this one being close though.

Someone correct me if I'm wrong but I think their top RB Humes is out and their 2nd RB Imoh is questionable.

that is correct however they are still 1 of
the best defences in the league and Maryland will not score much at all... Even with
the backs out they can throw for 6 thouchdowns EASILY. [img]/images/graemlins/cool.gif[/img]

yeah but the 3rd string back Orr is as good as both of them. I would side bet someone that Orr gets 150+ rushing in the game if first two are out

Humes is out with a broken forearm but Imoh is expected to play and split carries with Ore. Ore rushed for 146 in his first start against Marshall, so if he is the #1 back going into Thursday I dont think it will be a big hit to the VT offense.

The big question is rather or not Tech can stop MD's O.
MD has already proven they can put up big numbers, 45 against VA at home. VT knows that they cant look past MD and they have to play better the entire game, they lead 14-7 at halftime at home v. Marshall. I think the off week is just what they needed to regroup.

Im putting a couple units on VT -10 -105 (at pinny) If you like Tech I wouldnt wait Im sure it'll get higher, maybe to -13.
