A pair of terrible offenses meet here -- and a high total. Maryland got a win for new coach D.J. Durkin last week, holding Howard to 13 points. But Howard won only one game last year while being outscored 408-169. Durkin left his job as Michigan's defensive coordinator, so the defense will be fine, but he has a ton of work to do on an offense that is lacking playmakers. QB Perry Hills got the win last week, barely throwing, and is the starter but last season he had eight TDs, 13 INTs. No school in the nation turned the ball over more than Maryland's 36 in 2015. The Terps tossed a national-high 29 interceptions, minus-18 in turnover margin. Maryland is 11-4-1 UNDER the total on fieldturf, plus 18-7-1 UNDER after scoring more than 40 points in their previous game. They face a Florida International squad that tallied just 13 points in last week's loss to a bad Indiana defense. The UNDER is 36-14-1 in the Golden Panthers after accumulating less than 100 yards rushing in their previous game and this total is far too high. Play this one to finish UNDER the total.
