College Football Betting preview: West Virginia Mountaineers vs. Maryland Terrapins
College Football Betting preview: West Virginia Mountaineers vs. Maryland TerrapinsThe game between West Virginia Mountaineers vs. Maryland Terrapins has the potential to be one of the best games to watch this weekend on the college football schedule. Maryland is ready to get acknowledged for the play on the field and not the way their uniform looks. The latest college football betting odds for this game can be found at online sportsbook, Bet Phoenix.
Both of these programs would really like to get a crucial out of conference win that could help in the bowl selection process later in the season. This game carries some intrigue as well from the coaching standpoint as both the Mountaineers and Terps are sporting first year coaches Dana Holgorsen and Randy Edsall would really love a signature win early in their coaching tenure.

Maryland had an exciting debut to the 2011 season against Miami at home, where they showcased a set of uniforms that were the buzz of the internet. The Terps played well, albeit against a depleted Miami team in a game they won 32-24. Maryland was fueled by an impressive effort from quarterback Danny O'Brien who passed for 348 yards and a touchdown. O'Brien was successful moving the chains and sustaining drives. O'Brien will have to earn his success against a solid Mountaineers defensive unit if he hopes to have similar results.

The Mountaineers are heading into this game after an iffy performance against Norfolk State. WVU was down 12-10 at halftime, and then put up 45 unanswered points to seal the deal. If West Virginia hopes to beat Maryland, they simply cannot afford to take a half off. Despite the way they played the first half against Norfolk State, the Mountaineers have played well through the first two games. The Mountaineers handled rival Marshall comfortably before the game was called early due to weather, and scored 45 points in the second half against Norfolk State. Quarterback Geno Smith has thrown for 620 yards and six touchdowns so far this season with a 66.7 percent completion rate.

The sports betting trends reveal some interesting angles for this game. The Favorite is 10-4 ATS in their last 14 meetings and the Terrapins are 6-1 ATS in their last 7 games after accumulating more than 450 total yards in their previous game. The Mountaineers are 5-15-1 ATS in their last 21 games following a win of more than 20 points and the Mountaineers are 3-8-1 ATS in their last 12 games after allowing less than 100 yards rushing in their previous game.

Regardless of the trends, this game will be exciting to watch as part of an action-packed Saturday of college football.
