California Golden Bears vs Maryland Terrapins Point Spread Picks

We faded Maryland last week and good thing as the Terps lost by 10 points as a 12.5 point favorite. They have not been able to get anything going on offense, and they will be hoping for different results from newly appointed signal caller Chris Turner. The Bears in contrast are out of the gate fast outscoring two opponents 104-34. The one thing about this recruited group of Cal players is they can look like world beaters one week, and come back and lay an egg the next week. Last year they opened with a big 14 point win vs. Tennessee, then went on the road favored by the same as they are here at Colorado State and almost lost. They go to Oregon as a TD dog and win, then come home and inexcusably lose to Oregon State as a two-TD favorite. Then they finish the season at home vs Stanford as a two-TD favorite, and again lose outright at home. They have gone just 5-11 ATS on the road the last three years (10-22 over the past fifteen). While this one looks to easy for California, we have seen from this group that when it looks like a cakewalk, they are often a no-show. Maryland hangs tough at home.
