Pitt is horrible. PSU could play poorly and still win this game. No upset this weekend
Be bold! Give us your thoughts on the probability of upset. We won't make fun of you; I promise.
SP+ has that game as a toss-up, with Temple even having a slightly higher chance of winning (51-49). I think Maryland’s a paper tiger, though I hope they win this weekend so we can pick up a road win on a ranked team.
I don't see any of those happening. Maybe Colorado since Nebraska is actually trash, but that would just be the universe realigning.
I'd like to think so, Raf, but that Maryland offense looks damn good to me. I think they are gonna blow Temple up, and am very much looking forward to the Maryland-PSU game. The matchup of the PSU defense and the Maryland offense will be interesting. Let's see what the Terps can do when they match up against a physical, Power 5 defense.
Don’t get me wrong, I don’t think they’re a bad team by any means - I just think they’re closer to a top 45 team than a top 25 team. Howard is worse than Idaho and Syracuse has all the look of a team that wasn’t as good as folks thought coming in. Temple will be a good test for them, but I think it’ll be a close one. I think UMD pulls it out and ends up as a bowl team, but closer to the 6-6 range. They’ll be ranked when we play them, though, and that’s really what matters.
I have $200.00 for Maryland to cover that 7..... let's hope that you're correct (as I thought the same as you on the points.)
Temple is playing at home with some really talented individuals who will view this game as their seasonal “Super Bowl”. Rhule left behind a roster very capable of achieving a “signature win”
You Pick 'Em participants would have been wise to heed (some of) my advice. It's still early.....3-4 in upset picks doesn't mean anything until the end of the day.
