I'm surprised we're favored b y 3. I think objectively we're considered by the majority to have the better team with them coming off a 2 win season, but considering we're on the road and they've already won 2 this year I expected a pick'em or to be a slight underdog. The under on 42.5 almost seems too easy.
I generally follow the theory that Vegas makes a great living off of this stuff, and they know what they're doing when they set these lines. It almost seems like the lines are begging people to take Maryland and the under. Maybe they know we're going to win in a high scoring blowout. That would be nice, so I'm going with this theory.
