The Maryland Terrapins are 1-3 SUATS as road favorites of three or fewer points the last two-plus seasons<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Maryland opens ACC play for the final time in its history, as it looks to improve upon its 8-9 SU all-time record against Boston College, but the team has won two of the last three meetings in the series.\u00a0 The Terrapins are 33-27 in ACC openers, but have lost 16 of 26 that were on the road, which is important to consider when making your college basketball predictions Thursday night.\u00a0 Offensively, the team has three players averaging in double figures, with sophomore forward Jake Layman leading the way, scoring 14.4 points a game.\u00a0 Maryland is 1-3 SUATS as road favorites of three or fewer points the last two-plus seasons.<\/p>\n

The Terrapins have lost their last two games, including a 77-75 setback to George Washington as three-point neutral-site favorites Sunday, while going OVER the betting total of 142.5.\u00a0 Maryland won its first in-season tournament since 2006 earlier in the season by capturing the Paradise Jam title in the U.S. Virgin Islands, which can\u2019t be ignored when looking over the college basketball odds page.<\/p>\n

Boston College has lost its first two games in December, including a 78-62 defeat to the USC Trojans as a pick\u2019 em last time out, while going UNDER the betting total of 151.\u00a0 The Eagles are led offensively by the play of junior forward Ryan Anderson, who is averaging 18.0 points per game, while also ranking second in the ACC among active players with 16 double-doubles.\u00a0 These two teams split two games last season, with each winning on its home floor.\u00a0 Boston College is 3-0 SUATS as home underdogs of three or fewer points the last two-plus seasons.<\/p>\n

The Eagles have played one of the tougher non-conference schedules in the country, with their opponents in November possessing a 42-10 combined record so far this year.\u00a0 \u00a0 The record of all nine of Boston College\u2019s opponents are a combined 56-24.\u00a0 Scoring is up around the country\u2014demonstrated in the program\u2019s 76.4 points per game this season, which is up from 67.6 through the same period of time last season.<\/p>\n

Sports bettors will likely back the Eagles due to the underdog being 7-1 ATS in the last eight meetings in this series.<\/p>\n
