This is a big revenge spot for Texas who lost outright at as an 18.5-point favorite in last year's opener. Texas head coach Tom Herman fully admitted that he was "over confident" heading into that Maryland game and the Horns proceeded to lose 51-41. We'll chalk that up as a first game outlier as after that, Texas was a Top 25 team going 8-3-1 ATS while nearly winning 9 or 10 games (4 losses by 5 points or less).

On the other side, Maryland has been extremely poor vs ranked teams the last 3 years going 1-12 SU and 4-9 ATS. Even counting that win over Texas last year, the Terps have been outscored by an average of 30 ppg in those 13 games.

Finally, this is NOT a true home game for Maryland as it will be played in Landover, MD (home of the Redskins). Therefore, there will probably be at least 10,000-15,000 Texas fans in stands.
