Virginia at Maryland

Virginia and Maryland are very familiar with each other, and now do battle in an out-of-conference game. This is a huge statement game with the Terps and Cavs both entering at 7-0 on the season. Virginia has picked up where they left off last season, as the Cavs are #1 in the nation in scoring defense as they have allowed a very stingy 44.6 points per game. Maryland took a blow in losing Dez Wells, and don't have a lot of experience, and this will be a difficult challenge against a strong defensive team, and in the end it will be their demise. The Cavaliers own a 13-2-2 ATS mark in their last 17 vs. a team over .600, and 21-6-2 ATS in their last 29 overall. The Terps are 1-5 ATS in their last six after scoring 90+ in their previous game and will find the going tough on offense in this one. Give the points on Virginia.
