The 4-1 start is nice but it\u2019s not like the Terrapins have run through a gauntlet of national contenders. Their only real test came at West Virginia in September and Maryland failed it.<\/p>\n<p>Still, the Terrapins have plenty to be happy about as they enter a vicious stretch of four road games in the next five weeks. They have the ACC\u2019s top r scoring defense (18.4 PPG) and red-zone defense so far and rank sixth nationally in that regard.<\/p>\n<p>The Terrapins have also gotten plenty cooking on offense this year, averaging more than 31 points per game. It also hasn\u2019t seemed to matter whether Jamarr Robinson or Danny O\u2019Brien is playing quarterback. Robinson threw four touchdown passes and two picks before hurting his shoulder and O\u2019Brien has done well in caretaker duty since, throwing for six touchdowns and no interceptions. Though Robinson looks like he\u2019s healed, O\u2019Brien may have wrestled the job from him.  [soliloquy id=&#8221;82219&#8243;]<\/p>\n<p><strong>Clemson Tigers (2-3)<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The Clemson Tigers are undoubtedly frustrated by their 2-3 start but all hope is not lost. In the last 25 years, they\u2019ve opened 2-3 eight times. In six of those eight seasons, they\u2019ve rallied to become bowl eligible. They started 2-3 last season and rallied to reach the ACC title game. In other words, they still have plenty to play for this week.<\/p>\n<p>The Tigers\u2019 three-game losing streak could have been preventable. They had three straight tough matchups \u2013 at Auburn, Miami (FL), at North Carolina \u2013 and lost each one by nine points or fewer. They blew a 17-point lead against Auburn; they turned the ball over six times against Miami; they had nine penalties against North Carolina. When you think about it, the Tigers could have easily started the year 5-0.<\/p>\n<p>We can expect Clemson to lean heavily on Andre Ellington, who has seven rushing touchdowns and averages 87 yard per game with 6.6 yards per carry this season. But a breakout effort from quarterback Kyle Parker would go a long way. He threw six touchdown passes in his first three games this year has just one in the last two weeks and threw three interceptions against Miami.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The pick: <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The betting trends seem to favor Maryland; it beat Clemson last year and is 6-1 against the spread in its last seven games as a road underdog of 10.5 or more points. But I like Clemson here. Maryland \u2013 and, more specifically, O\u2019Brien \u2013 hasn\u2019t really been tested this year. Clemson is angry and battle-hardened after three straight close losses to tough opponents.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s also rumored that Maryland may put O\u2019Brien and Robinson both into the mix at quarterback on Saturday. Against a Clemson \u201cD\u201d that likes to ballhawk (seven interceptions this season), a wonky rhythm for either signal caller in a tough road environment could be disastrous for Maryland\u2019s offense.<\/p>\n<p>Expect a statement game at home from Clemson; the Tigers will expose Maryland as a pretender.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Maryland vs Clemson prediction: <\/strong>Clemson 33, Maryland 17<\/p>\n<p>Money Line: OFF<br \/>\nSpread: Clemson -14.5<br \/>\nOver\/under: OVER 47<\/p>\n<p>CHECK OUT OUR\u00a0<a href=\"\/forums\/college-football-betting\/\"><strong>College football betting forums<\/strong><\/a> today!
