Week 1 6-2 (+3.8 units)
Week 2 2-3 (-1.3 units)

YTD 8-5 (+2.5 units)

Week 3:

Syracuse -4.5 (1 unit)
-Syracuse has had a few weeks to iron out the wrinkles after a near loss in their opener vs Villanova, a game which starting QB Terrell Hunt was ejected in the 2nd Q for throwing a punch. Central Michigan was the beneficiary of a very sloppy effort by a very bad Purdue team that may have been looking ahead to the Notre Dame matchup. Syracuse should control this game on both sides of the ball, and look for Hunt to have a big game.

Maryland -3 (1 unit)
-WV hung around Alabama in the opener, a game in which they had an entire offseason in which to get ready. I think the perception of WV is not reflective of reality. Maryland had to gut one out on the road vs USF, as they had to overcome 6 TO's. Maryland is better and more experienced on both sides of the ball, and will clean up the mistakes today.

Louisville -4.5 (1 unit)
-UVA getting too much love for keeping the game close vs a very overrated UCLA team. Last week, Richmond turned the ball over 7 times and gave up field position on kick coverage, which allowed UVA to put up over 40. Their defense has been ok, but their offense is still downright atrocious. Louisville should be able to get out front and stay there. I can't say enough about how BAD UVA's offense is under London, 3 yard dump-offs are not going to be enough to stay in this game.

I hope so - similar rain here in MD as it was last year when MD played WV, but I have a lot less confidence in the Terps this year as they looked horrible last week. CJ has been pretty bad and needs to get Stefon Diggs the ball. Hope the Terps get it done
