Maryland/Indiana Prediction Thread

IU 31
MD 16
Depending on what the tropical storm does to the weather on Saturday, it could be a lower scoring game.
Either way, if we can gash them on the ground early and often, I expect a lot of short passes and a run heavy game. Take their secondary out of the picture and keep the ball out of their hands.

At this point, if Triple C told me there was a flying saucer traveling behind a comet and that I needed to leave my physical body to ascend to the flying saucer, I would believe him.

I see our field goal kicker, practicing all week, with fans and spray-water hoses blowing on him with CCC yelling at him about how important he will be this weekend. He will be the difference.

Ugly game. Maybe with the weather turnovers play a bigger role than they have for IU in first 4 games?
Maryland has more talent than IU does. And they have a coach that's been there a few years, so there's some continuity.
Historically, these are the types of games, and situations, where IU falters, and takes a step or two back with a bad loss. Losing to Maryland wouldn't necessarily be a bad loss, but with the start, it'd sure be disappointing.
I think we're a more well rounded team. We'll end up winning because of that.
33-20 IU.

42-17 good guys. Score early, score often. Tayven plays the entire 4th quarter.
I see a little closer game. This Maryland team has some tools.

A rain soaked 28 - 24 W for the Hoosiers.
Honestly if it were pretty I think I'd expect a greater spread.
Maryland scores late to make it look closer than it was.
O/U is 53.5 now according to Fox Sports. I'd take the under if weather is as expected.
Go Hoosiers!

It is not expected to go to Bloomington as it curves to Illinois after hitting us in Southern Indiana along the river.A rain soaked 28 - 24 W for the Hoosiers.

Then I retract and go 35-20 Hoosiers and take the over.
Thx V13.
That would actually be a gentleman known as Marshall Applewhite, He was also a big fan of Nike.
Surprised, not surprised, CCC knows how to handle the weather situation and the Hoosiers are ready:
IU 42
MD 20

In #14, mobilehoosier covered my thoughts perfectly. Usually don't get on an o/u bet but I want the over all day long. mobile, good call 35-20!

I'm not going to go with a gut feel or let my emotional bias toward IU affect this prediction. Just purely using statistics to date, the math says: IU 51 -- MD 9.
Not sure why ESPN only has IU as 7-point favorites, with a 31-24 score (O/U=55.5). They must be using chicken bones and astrology to predict scores.

A packed house. The New Indiana is juiced as are the fans. A must game. IU 42 MD 17
All I am predicting is a sloppy mess of a game. For these two teams it will be low scoring. O/U is 52.5. Take the under...
24-17 IU. I saw it earlier up the thread and I agree.
Bless his heart. I'm sure by now he and his followers are somewhere off in the distant Milky Way having flying saucer Nike themed disco parties with anal probes.
I'm liking the over too, even with the potential weather issues. Unfortunately for me there is no online betting in WA state (or maybe that's a good thing?)
I’ll take an IU win, Maryland offense best we’ve faced this season. IU will score and so will the Terps- get number 5 Coach Cig!
I picked IU to lose to UCLA a few weeks back, so I'll continue with my reverse jink strategy:
Maryland 28
IU 17
Maryland 28
IU 17
Indiana 30 - 20 Maryland.
I'm knocking off some total points for the expected deluge.

Weather is not going to be good and IU has a more balanced attach and better rushing game. Expect this to be more a ground game and short passing when able. MD really only has one threat at WR and expect them to run screen's or Jet sweeps to get him the ball but pushing down the field doesn't seem realistic if the weather reports hold. Expect both teams will key more to the run and don't expect much in the way of field goal attempts unless in close.

IU 16 - Maryland 13 in a defensive struggle due to a sloppy field and wind gusts. We miss a PAT. This is all just a hunker downed hunch.
Damn weather will keep it on the ground. 24-16 IU.
They changed the weather forecast. So I’m going to edit: 34-24. IU

.5 inch for Saturday. Being turf it will drain and not be an issue.
