West Virginia at MarylandFourth ranked West Virginia travels to Maryland on Thursday night to face the Terrapins on ESPN. West Virginia is 2-0 but was sluggish for a while last week in the win over Marshall. They were down 13-6 before pulling away late to win 48-23. That struggle may have been the reason that West Virginia fell one spot in the AP Top 25 to fourth. SBG Global reports that early betting has the public taking the favored West Virginia on the Road.

The Mountaineers will look to running back Steve Slaton on Thursday night. Slaton has 255 rushing yards on 40 carries with five touchdowns in 2007. He ran 24 times for 146 yards and three TDs on Saturday. "It was a matter of time before everything took its toll,' said Slaton. The Mountaineers finished with 511 yards. "You have to find out what you are doing wrong and what you can do better," Mountaineers coach Rich Rodriguez said.

Maryland comes into the game having won eight of their last nine games but they have not beaten a Top 5 team in three years. The Terps got by Florida International last week 26-10 but were not impressive. "I think we're better than what we showed," said Maryland coach Ralph Friedgen.

Thursday, 13 September 2007

The TCU Horned Frogs, smarting from a good old Texas sized licking down in Austin last week, look to get back on the winning track when they travel to Colorado Springs, Colo., to take on the Air Force Academy in a Thursday night tilt to be televised on CSTV-PPV. The Frogs, one of the favorites expected to vie for the Mountain West Conference title this year, easily dominated the Falcons last year in a 38-14 win at home in Fort Worth. TCU is favored across the offshore board; however, lines vary up to a full point at different books.

After opening -7.0, offshore sportsbook Bodog.com is now offering TCU at -8 ½ while Sportsbook.com has the line a half point less at -8.0 with a 42 total. Money line prices should be available across the board a few hours prior to kickoff. 

After playing two games this season, TCU is 1-1 both SU and ATS. The Frogs opened with a 27-0 SU win over the Baylor Bears on Sept 1, covering ATS as a -22 ½ chalk home favorite. In the Texas game TCU failed to win SU or cover as a +8.0 point road underdog. 

The Falcons hit the road last week opening MWC play at Utah and coming away with a 20-12 SU win and covering as a +7.0 road underdog. The Falcons opened against sub-division South Carolina State winning 34-3 SU. 

Air Force has struggled while playing on Thursday night going 2-8 all-time. The Falcons snapped a seven game losing streak on Thursday's with last year's 24-21 win over Colorado State. 

Air Force and TCU are meeting for the seventh time overall and fourth time as conference foes. The Horned Frogs have a 4-1-1 record in the series, including a 3-0 mark in conference games.

West Virginia vs Maryland Betting Betting Preview PDF Print E-mail
Thursday, 13 September 2007

West Virginia vs Maryland Betting Betting PreviewThe Maryland Terrapins (2-0) will host the No. 4 ranked West Virginia Mountaineers (2-0) at 7:30 ET. on ESPN. The Terrapins were embarrassed in last years game in West Virginia when they were dominated 45-24. Can the Terps exact revenge against the Mountaineers and their potent offense? Online sportsbook SBG Global has West Virginia -16.5 points against Maryland.

The Mountaineers dropped a notch in rankings this week after having a brief struggle against Marshall (0-2) before dominating 48-23. Maryland looked equally unimpressive in a laboring 26-10 victory over F.I.U as 23 point favorites. Maryland hasn’t beaten a top 5 team since 2004 but Head Coach Ralph “Fridge” Friedgen’s team should come out fired up for this one. Online betting giant BetUS.com has BetUS.com has the Maryland Terps a 17 point underdog.

One huge key for the Terrapins to be competitive in this game will be the play at Quarterback. The Terps have a solid set of receivers but they are ranked just 104th in the nation for passing yards. West Virginia has an array of weapons with possibly the best backfield combo in the nation with Heisman candidate RB Steve Slaton and QB Pat White. If West Virginia can pile up points early it will be difficult for Maryland to play catch up because of their dependence on the running game.

Maryland has their own dangerous runner in senior RB Keon Lattimore (5-11, 223) who is averaging 5.7 yards per carry and has scored 5 TD’s. Maryland has yet to be tested against an offense even 1\3 of West Virginia’s caliber but they are ranked 7th in the nation in total defense. We’ll find out how good Maryland’s defense really is when they go up against the Mountaineers monster offense. At the same token we will see how good West Virginia really is when they face their stiffest test early on the road. (0-2) before dominating 48-23.

Maryland Terrapins host No 4 West Virginia Mountaineers PDF Print E-mail
Wednesday, 12 September 2007

Maryland Terrapins host No 4 West Virginia MountaineersThe No.4 West Virginia Mountaineers get the Thursday night national spotlight all to their own when they travel to Maryland for a tilt with the 2-0 Terps. The Mountaineers, led by Heisman hopefuls RB Steve Slaton and QB Patrick White, are expected to blow away the terrapins having been installed -16 ½ point favorites by online sports wagering powerhouse Sportsbook.com while  Bodog.com shows Maryland at +17. Handicapping expert at Point-Spreads.com, Reno Goldberg , advises approaching this double-digit line with caution especially if you are leaning on the side of the Mountaineers. “West Virginia will have a target on its back in every game, especially on the road,” said Goldberg. These schools are long time rivals and anything can happen in spite of what the oddsmakers think.” 

The Mounties went to Marshall last Saturday a -26 ½ point favorite and failed to cover winning by 25 SU. In their opener the Mountaineers pounded Western Michigan 62-24 SU at Morgantown covering ATS as a -25 point home favorite. Thursday’s game with Maryland will be the third consecutive game where oddsmakers have favored West Virginia by more than three touchdowns.

West Virginia features a high-powered rushing attack with a pair of Heisman Trophy hopefuls in quarterback Pat White and running back Steve Slaton . Last season in Morgantown, West Virginia Maryland 45-24 on the strength of 340 yards rushing. 

The Terps are sort of an unknown having played two under the radar games, opening with a 31-14 win over sub-division Villanova and following with a 26-10 SU win at Sun Belt member Florida International, failing to cover ATS as a -23 point road favorite. 

Maryland has won six of its last seven at home and is 31-8 in coach Ralph Friedgen's six-plus seasons. Friedgen has directed the Terps to two undefeated home seasons (7-0 in 2001; 6-0 in 2003). The Mounties and Terps are playing for the 46th time in the traditional series with the Mountaineers holding a slight 22-21-2 edge. The Terps have defeated a top-5 team once in the Friedgen era knocking off No. 5 Florida State 20-17 in 2004. 

The Terps are good playing at home winning six of their last seven games in Byrd Stadium and is 31-8 in Friedgens six-plus seasons. Maryland went undefeated at home , 7-0 in 2001 and 6-0 in 2003.
