Maryland/Michigan angle

[saints1856]

I know Big Blue will probably come out and dominate tomorrow, but hear me out on a reason I'm looking at Maryland +31.5

Maryland HC Durkin was with Harbaugh at Stanford and at Michigan as the Def Coord, and Harbaugh still gives Durkin credit for helping them turn that program around:

Is it a good angle to consider that Michigan won't try to run up the score on Maryland bc of this? +31.5 is a lot, and Michigan doesn't need style points, just W's to stay in the Top 4.

Thoughts? I can see a 38-14 final here

Yea, I thought of this also,but I am looking more at the total.....to go UNDER. Don't want to make this too long....but in College Football, when it comes to totals,at least the way I see it.IT is important to my way of capping,were Vegas opens the line ! And the way I see it the #55.5 is the most telling number there is. At this number, both teams have the ability to score or have so-so defenses.It does not matter which one....but why open the line @ 55.5 ? This is important because it's 1/2 point lower than 8 TD'S, so why not 56,56.5 or 57 ?? I believe they want the over money!! Alot more to this................but I hope some get the idea.Best of luck to all for a profitable weekend!

Maryland is a good play. Michigan has been overinflated for a long time now. They shouldn't be laying 30-40 points against conference foes

Didnt I hear something similiar when they beat Rutgers by 78?

[saints1856]

Rutgers HC is Chris Ash, who coached with Urban Meyer, not Harbaugh. Don't see your point

Sure, they also failed to cover against terrible Illinois. One good performance against a team that flat out quit. If you don't quit late, Michigan won't blow you out by 30+ points most of the time

At least last year,Maryland HC Durkin was Mich. Defensive coordinator......he may have a few more angles to go on than the Rutgers HC.
