Clemson enters its sixth game of the season struggling mightily dropping three in a row, most recently falling at Chapel Hill against the suspension and injury riddled North Carolina Tar Heels.

It previously fell to Miami at home and Auburn on the road in an OT game head coach Dabo Swinney’s kids still don’t look to have recovered from.

The “Fridge’s” Terps invade Memorial Stadium off a bye and on a high after getting off to a 4-1 start; they’ll storm Death Valley self-assured knowing they’ve taken each of the L/2 meetings against their division rivals.

Riddle me this Batman: With both clubs seemingly headed in much different directions, how on this green earth are the Tigers two TD+ bet on football favorites? It’s quite simple actually – The Terrapins have been very lucky to start the season and have taken advantage of a much lesser schedule to attain their current record and Atlantic Division standing.

While the Tigers were cracking skulls with the Tigers, Hurricanes and Tar Heels the L/4 weeks, Maryland got down and dirty with the likes of Duke and Florida international and was then rewarded with a Week 6 bye.

After going through its cupcake schedule, you’d expect the Terrapins overall stats on both sides of the ball to pop off the page. That’s hardly the case however as Maryland ranks 79th in defensive yards allowed (382 YPG) and a pathetic 101st in offensive yards gained (314.4 YPG).

While it’s allowed an average of just 18.4 PPG (#28), the highest scoring offense it faced was West Virginia’s (#51) and the Mountaineers held a 21-0 lead at the break before taking its foot off the pedal in the second half.

With the Tigers in desperate need of a win, don’t expect any letting off the gas to occur if in fact they get off to a commanding start.

Clemson has scored an average of 30.8 PPG (#48) and rushed for an average of 179.6 YPG (#38) with the efforts of running backs Andre Ellington and Jamie Harper. Both should find the Terps 76th ranked rush defense very inviting.

NCAA Football Insider Tip: Along with holding the strength of schedule advantage in this bet on football match-up, the Tigers also hold an advantage on the line.

With that being the case, quarterback Kyle Parker could have his best game of the season throwing the pigskin with the Terps averaging less than a pair of sacks per game.

All the trends and angles scream to take the Terps in this match-up; 5-0 ATS L/5 trips to Clemson, underdog and road team 5-1 ATS L/6 meetings. With that being the case, you have to ask yourself why this line steamed from the 13-point opener to its current position.

The answer to that question has been detailed up above. Further inspection of both of these teams suggests that Maryland is in for a rude awakening come Saturday afternoon.

Make your bet on football selection on the home team Tigers who will trounce the visiting Turtles by no less than three TDs!
