Who you got?

Lots of suspensions for Miami, we all know about that. All six of the Labor Day games involving one or two ACC teams have been decided by 6 or fewer points.

Before the NCAA announced its suspensions, Miami opened as a 5.5 point favorite. By Sunday, Maryland was favored by 3.5. Right now 5dimes has Maryland at -4 and the total set at 45.5.

My thoughts right now are it is going to be hard to gauge how good the backups at many of these positions are going to be. However, everyone overreacted to Oregon and LSU and we know how those turned out. I think a play on the total might be the right call here. Seems low but there is a lot of bad weather in the forecast (again). My initial lean is OVER 45.5.

Think miami will cover or straight up win, but playing the total is my best bet, GL tonite

[Glitch]

Took the Terps and the over, also parlayed it. Wish I would have bet it earlier, got those numbers at 5 Dimes too.

Instead of worrying about what Miami's offense will/won't do I am going to focus on what should likely happen to the Miami D. The damage is especially harsh on the defensive side, particularly on the defensive line. The loss of their three top returning pass rushers plus Spence means they probably won't have much of a pass rush to speak of. Given that offensive line is still a weakness for Maryland that's especially encouraging and should give Maryland the all-important advantage in the trenches. That'll make the entire offense tick smoother: O'Brien will have more time, Davin Meggett will have bigger holes.

Spence being out is a big deal.

My play: Maryland TT over 24.5 -110 (2 units)

It is odd that this total is creeping downward. Suspensions hit Miami the hardest on the defensive side with 3 linemen, All Conference Senior LB Sean Spence and their strong safety all being unavailable. Couple that with the amount of players that will be seeing their first action on the road under the lights on national TV (6 Freshmen on the two deep). O'Brien has the potential to explode on this young D and the suspensions weigh heavy on Miamis depth thus leaving them susceptible if Stephen Morris makes a few mistakes causing them to stay on the field longer.

Miami's offense has 2 capable running backs and a QB who threw for over 250 yards in a comeback win over Maryland last year. Wide receivers are pretty green with the loss of Leonard Hankerson to the NFL and their 2nd leading receiver also a suspension casualty. If someone will play devils advocate and tell me why this game shouldnt creep into the 50's, I am all ears.

CFB [211] TOTAL o45½-110 (MIAMI FLORIDA vrs MARYLAND)

[spartangreen]

playing the under tonight

[krk1030]

Over is an easy winner.

The majority of the suspensions are on defense. Other than losing Benjamin, Miami's offense was not hurt from the suspensions.

[laxdjock]

DSI has -3.5 & 45.5. O45.5 seems solid.

That is what I said. Great analysis! I am playing the under!

[Cougar Bait]

Sharp books moving off 4, line to 3.5

Thoughts on where this ends?

[BeatTheJerk]

I'm just gonna watch this game as a Miami fan and hope they win. No bet for me.

[Cougar Bait]

Jerk you have been hot lately

You had Houston -2.5

What's your angle here, we know you're playing something

[trytrytry]

played miami think they might win a close one actually

[Cougar Bait]

Still can't pull the trigger on a side. I really want to tease it to over 39 but don't know what to do with the side. Can't tease through zero and don't feel confident Miami can stay close.

[jjaycuny]

I'm taking MD -175.....thinking about laying some on the over now..

[Brock Landers]

tough game to call

[accuscoresucks]

over 45

Remember they lost Hankerson from last year as well. WR could be a big problem for them tonight.

careful of the weather guys. looks to be loads of rain coming.

I was really liking the over on this game but the weather is making me rethink my pick. Still don't have anything locked in.

I just hope I don't have to get on the phone again with Bookmaker if this game ends up cancelled.

Getting really sick of these delays and cancellation because of rain.
