Maryland will meet a veteran Syracuse defense that returned seven starters from last season and has thrived on pressure with nine tackles for losses per game so far this season. Maryland has struggled on third down conversions and will be in trouble here.

Maryland was lit up by WVU for 694 yards. All of our power ratings have the teams very closely matched, but home field is worth three points. With a solid defense, the Orange will slow down the two solid receivers on Maryland.
