My Prediction: This is a much different game than it looked like 2 months ago. Miami is in the middle of a huge scandal. I've even heard talks of 'death penalty', though I doubt the NCAA would go that far. The suspension list is long and it includes QB Jacory Harris, WR's Travis Benjamin and Aldarius Johnson, top returning LB Sean Spence, and their two top returning sack leaders Olivier Vernon and Adewale Ojomo. We can see why the line moved from Miami -4 to +4. Randy Edsall is in his first year at Maryland after coaching UCONN to four straight Bowl games and putting Storrs, Connecticut on the football map. Edsall has 14 returning starters back including QB Danny O'Brien who had a 22/8 TD/INT ratio last year. He won't have his two top receivers from last year, but they do have some good young wideouts. This is a scary game to predict with all that's going on, but I'm going to lay a small bet on the Terps.

Maryland -4
