I feel it\u2019s a great spot for both favorites to come away with a much needed conference win.<\/p>\n<h3>Game #1 \u2013 Iowa Hawkeyes vs. Maryland Terrapins<\/h3>\n<p><b>NCAA Football Point Spread:<\/b> Maryland \u20134.5<br \/>\n<b>NCAA Football Over\/Under:<\/b> 51.5 Points<\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/capperspicks.sportsdirectinc.com\/football\/ncaaf-matchups.aspx?page=\/data\/NCAAF\/matchups\/g8_summary_19.html\" target=\"_parent\" rel=\"nofollow\">Matchup<\/a>\u00a0|\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/capperspicks.sportsdirectinc.com\/football\/ncaaf-preview.aspx?page=\/data\/NCAAF\/matchups\/g8_preview_19.html\" target=\"_parent\" rel=\"nofollow\">Preview<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The Maryland Terrapins 4-2 (1-1 Big Ten) were dominated at home by OSU (52-24) two weeks ago. They were off last week and have a lot of time to prepare for the Iowa Hawkeyes 5-1 (2-0 Big Ten).<\/p>\n<p>Maryland also lost against WVU (40-37) earlier in the season. The Terrapins have struggled against teams that can put up points, but the Hawkeyes are below average on offense (26.3 PPG \u2013 89th).<\/p>\n<p>[dfads params=&#8217;groups=63738&amp;limit=1&amp;return_javascript=0&#8242;]<\/p>\n<p>Iowa is averaging 230.0 PYPG (72nd) and 151.3 RYPG (83rd). Mark Weisman is the power horse on Iowa and he already has 349 rushing yards (8 TD\u2019s) on 103 carries. He is a power RB, but can\u2019t catch well.<\/p>\n<p>The Hawkeyes will likely pound the rock with Weisman, as Maryland allows 212.0 RYPG (104th). Maryland is better at stopping the pass (239.2 PYPG \u2013 69th) and will have to focus on shutting Weisman down.<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019ve been impressed with the Terrapins offense this season. They only average 259.3 PYPG (49th) and 140.3 RYPG (97th), but they have had no problem scoring points (34.7 PPG \u2013 38th).<\/p>\n<p>Iowa ranks 41st against the run (130.3 RYPG) and 24th against the pass (200.3 PYPG). They\u2019re only allowing 19.2 PPG (19th), but the problem I have is that the schedule has been very kind to them thus far.<\/p>\n<p>So far the Hawkeyes are 2-0 on the road with wins over Pittsburgh (24-20) and Purdue (24-10). Those are solid wins, but this will be their toughest test, especially since Maryland has had a week off.<\/p>\n<p>Maryland has to stop Weisman and force Jake Rudock to beat them. C.J. Brown will have to carry his team like he has all season, but if he comes to play the Terrapins will outscore the Hawkeyes by a TD.<\/p>\n<p><b>NCAA Football Pick:<\/b> Bet on the Terrapins to cover the \u20134.5 spread at home.<\/p>\n<p>[dfads params=&#8217;groups=66501&amp;limit=1&amp;return_javascript=0&#8242;]<\/p>\n<h3>Game #2 \u2013 Georgia Bulldogs vs. Arkansas Razorbacks<\/h3>\n<p><b>NCAA Football Point Spread:<\/b> Georgia \u20134<br \/>\n<b>NCAA Football Over\/Under:<\/b> 58.5 Points<\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/capperspicks.sportsdirectinc.com\/football\/ncaaf-matchups.aspx?page=\/data\/NCAAF\/matchups\/g8_summary_226.html\" target=\"_parent\" rel=\"nofollow\">Matchup<\/a>\u00a0|\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/capperspicks.sportsdirectinc.com\/football\/ncaaf-preview.aspx?page=\/data\/NCAAF\/matchups\/g8_preview_226.html\" target=\"_parent\" rel=\"nofollow\">Preview<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>We have two of the best rushing teams in the nation. The Georgia Bulldogs 5-1 (3-1 SEC) have one loss on the season, which came against South Carolina (38-35), but other than that they\u2019ve been perfect.<\/p>\n<p>The Arkansas Razorbacks 3-3 (0-3 SEC) are winless in the SEC with losses to Auburn (45-21), Texas A&amp;M (35-28) and Alabama (14-13). This team hasn\u2019t folded and just played Bama extremely tough.<\/p>\n<p>[dfads params=&#8217;groups=63739&amp;limit=1&amp;return_javascript=0&#8242;]<\/p>\n<p>Georgia just blanked Mizzou (34-0) in their first game without Todd Gurley. The offense played well, but the defense was even better. They\u2019ll need to play like that again to beat Arkansas on the road.<\/p>\n<p>Arkansas ranks 11th in rushing yards (278.7 RYPG) and Georgia ranks right behind them (275.7 RYPG \u2013 12th). Neither of these teams passes the football well, so expect a heavy dose of running.<\/p>\n<p>Both teams rank outside of the top 100 in passing yards, as the Razorbacks average 180.8 PYPG (107th) and the Bulldogs average 170.0 PYPG (112th), which is real poor for two SEC teams.<\/p>\n<p>Nick Chubb is averaging 5.3 YPC and has the speed to burn defenders. Losing Gurley hurts this team, but right now Georgia is playing great football and they\u2019re more talented than Arkansas.<\/p>\n<p>The Razorbacks may surprise some teams with their rushing attack, but the Bulldogs are ranked 12th at stopping the run (101.7 RYPG). You have the beat Georgia through the air and Arkansas can\u2019t.<\/p>\n<p><b>NCAA Football Pick:<\/b> Bet on the Bulldogs to cover ATS on the road.<\/p>\n<h3>Check out our <a title=\"College Football Week 8 Odds\" href=\"https:\/\/capperspicks.sportsdirectinc.com\/odds\/ncaaf.aspx\" rel=\"nofollow\">Updated College Football Week 8 Odds<\/a>.<\/h3>\n<p>[dfads params=&#8217;groups=63706&amp;limit=1&amp;return_javascript=0&#8242;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Week 8 Free NCAAF Parlay Picks Hard to believe it\u2019s already week 8?
