I think this game is as close to a proverbial "lock" as you can get!...I was thinking about taking Maryland straight up on a moneyline play (+185) but decided to take the points instead just in case!...Anyhow, I see the terps running all over the beavers with Lance Ball and Keon Lattimore (both will be playing in the NFL on sundays and both will be gone by the first three rounds, probably two!)....Maryland also has their all-american lineman Andrew Crummey returning for this game...and the terps have played well all year despite being totally decimated by injuries and they thoroughly dominated two top ten teams at the time (rutgers, and BC) even though the scores might not indicate that...Besides, they have played a lot better with Chris Turner at the helm!..much better than QB Jordan Steffy...(weird and most interesting fact of the football season:..Chris Turner, Maryland's starting QB, is the son of the drummer for the 80's rock group RATT!)...as far as oregon st goes, I'm sorry but the pac-10 is overrated and overhyped...they are already 0-2 in bowl games and I look for that trend to continue...I've seen oregon st get totally destroyed by a mediocre Cincy team from the Big East 34-3!..yes, it was early in the year but that game pretty much tells the story....my only concern is Marylands mercurial and jekyll and hyde nature of which team decides to show up...Now that they are healed and healthy for the first time, I think it will be the team that beat Rutgers, and BC.
