3 units on Clemson +3.5 (-110) (risk 3 to return 5.73)
Result:
WIN

Nice contrarian situation here, with Clemson coming off two huge wins against Duke and Georgia Tech vs. Clemson sitting in last place and coming off five straight losses. Sharrod Ford is on fire and will lead an inspired home effort for the Tigers here. Maryland can score but they score less on the road. They also allow 80 points per game to opponents. Maryland is 4-12 ATS (-9.2 Units) in road games versus good rebounding teams (outrebounding opponents by 4+ per game) over the last 3 seasons. They are also 4-14 ATS in road games after 2 or more consecutive wins over the last 3 seasons. Finally, the Terrapins are 5-16 ATS in road games as a favorite over the last 3 seasons. Look for Maryland to let down a bit here and Clemson to pull off the cover and maybe an upset win. Three units on Clemson plus the points.
