Maryland is coming into this game with a 1-1 record this season. They beat UConn in their 1st game of the season 50-7 at home, but they followed up with a home loss to Michigan State in their last game. They are still struggling to replace the hole that Taulia Tagovailoa left in the offense. Billy Edwards Jr has played well in the 2 games, but the team also lacks a strong running game. They are going up against a Virginia team that is 2-0 this season and they are going to be riding high after pulling off a big come back against Wake Forest on the road. They beat Wake Forest 31-30 and they are going to have a lot of confidence coming back home for this game. Maryland beat Virginia at home last season 42-14, but this is a revenge spot for Virginia and there is no doubt that they have this game circled. Virginia was struggling when they faced at the beginning of the season last year, but they got better throughout the year as Colandrea grew into his role as the starting quarterback. Now Virginia has improved even more this season while Maryland has lost talent and is still trying to fill the hole their starting quarterback left. Michigan State was able to exploit this Maryland defense through the air in their win last week and this passing offense for Virginia has been very good to start the season. Virginia will move the ball efficiently against this Maryland defense and it will be Maryland mistakes on offense that cost them the game here. Virginia will cover the spread in this game.
