    Books Havent' Been Close on Terps Lines This Year

    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.

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

    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

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

    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

    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.

    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.
