If you take a look at Maryland's road games this year (L 14-24 @ Mid Ten State, L 0-31@ Virginia, W 20-17 @ Clemson) I think you will notice a bit of a trend. They are simply not good. Not to mention the extremely loud crowd on a Thursday night in Blacksburg.
The ONLY reason the line is only Va Tech -3 is Vegas' attempt to get plays on Maryland because of the quarterback situation with the Hokies. Home field advantage on a Thursday night is worth 3 pts alone, especially at Va Tech. (Lane Stadium?) and if you have seen Sean Glennon play at all this year, any other option is a better option.
Maryland will be lucky to put up 10 Thursday night, pending Va Tech turnovers. We're all aware of the Hokie special teams so we know that will be a dominating factor in the game.
Not to mention Va Tech sees their window of opportunity with N. Carolina and Georgia Tech playing eachother atop the division this saturday. If you look at past trends the Hokies are great as low favorites and underdogs, they seem to have trouble covering larger spreads. Strong pick tonight for me... feel free to chime in...
VIRGINIA TECH HOKIES (-3)
