70 % analysis MARYLAND
PREDICTION:
Maryland dominated a very strong team in West Virginia. Ga Tech struggled against a weak Wake Forest team. That game was on the road, as will be tonights game in College Park, Maryland. Georgia Tech is thin at the running back position and their passing offense hasn't exploded in resent weeks either. Starting running back Hollings is out for season and backup RB Sidney Ford is questionable with a concusion. The Terps defense has improved all season long and they should hold the Jackets to very little offense on the ground or in the air. The home field advantage proves as a excellent advantage for the terps. The Terps offense has improved each week along with their defense as last week they put up enormous numbers against West Virginia. Georgia Tech has always been a team to recon with in the ACC in the past. This year is not the year for the Jackets. With the loss of their running back and a struggling defense in close games the Terps should pull away in the 2nd half for a 10-14 point victory. Maryland comes out pumped up in front of the home town croud and beats Ga Tech.
Maryland 31 Georgia Tech 17
Maryland -1.5 ****
