Books Havent' Been Close on Terps Lines This Year

[KRIT]

Can't think of the last time I've seen the books so off on a team all year. Books have been getting buried by Maryland all year and they haven't adjusted. Maryland is a quality team, and books made them a 4.5 dog on a neutral court against a pretty weak Sparty team.

[leburts]

Exactly, Terps have a height advantage (2") --- made a big 1st half bet !

[KRIT]

Sparty making a comeback. Regardless if Terps cover or not, books haven't been close on them all year.

I follow UMD and the only thing I can think of is MSU -2 (opening line) b/c maryland hasn't been a good road team, and then maybe Sparty fans pushed it to 4, I don't know but I'm on Terps ML @ +160

[jtoler]

Opened at -2 or-2.5 don't see anything wrong with that.

Game ain't over, lets not jynx them

[jtoler]

Terps 12-14-3 ats, number man wants about .500.

Terps 12-14-3 ats, number man wants about .500.

I thought they'd be much better than that, but regardless of the ats record, books have thrown out some lines that most everyone has thought have been off by at least a couple points. Maryland has cashed a lot of big public plays this year. Just look at some of these head scratcher lines:

Terps +9 at Oklahoma St, terps won su
Terps + 6 vs Wisky, terps won su
Terps +6 at Mich St, terps won su
Terps -2.5 vs Mich St, terps won su
Terps -2 vs IU on neutral court yesterday, covered
Terps -2.5 at a bad Nebraska team, covered

Terps got drilled a lot on the road getting points, seems like an airball today so far, in the past Mich St was free money on this type of line

[thetrinity]

Opened at -2 or-2.5 don't see anything wrong with that.

They won at Michigan St and are 8th against a team not ranked and were catching points

[KRIT]

And yes my dumbass is on Sparty

Hard not to be, in anything besides NCAA basketball they would have been a good bet, still time though.

Yea but State is still rated a little bet higher, couple that with State always being a heavily bet team around this time and that -2 moves.

It's all about ratings at the time.

Don't look now, but here comes State.

haha jinxer thread.

Haha classic ending. Oh well, had Sparty at -4 but also had them to close out a ml parlay. Not going to complain, I was expecting to lose for most that game.

Regardless of the outcome, Terps line have been off all year.
