NIU is the best MAC team this year... Maryland is the best team ever to visit Delkalb, the whole freaking town has been shut down for days... This game = NIU superbowl..
NIU will be soooo ready, and maryland has some key injuries...
Also, Maryland wont show all their stuff the week before they play FSU either, so you are going to see very basic sets and defenses from the terps..
That being said, the terps still win, but this game will be much closer then it should, and thats why the Line is -8 Terps.
