Michigan will probably slip up at Michigan State, but that's probably a split with Michigan winning at home then. Wouldn't surprise me if they both went something like 18-2. I think both are that good. And while MD has gotten off to a good start, they've shown to be inconsistent. That's why they are lower rated in NET compared to teams like Nebraska and Purdue. But maybe that's just them being young at the beginning, and moving forward is who they are going to be.

Either way, this is going to be a fascinating year. It's nice to see after the last couple years have been lacking.
Maryland is weird. I've watched them like 7 times this year and every game I think "man they're not very good " then they'll invariably go on a 17-2 run right after I think that and win by 2-4 points . It's like clockwork

My exact thoughts every time I watch them.

You can beat people and still stink . Every year there's a few teams who start off hot and end up shitty. When I watch the Terps i feel like they're doing it with smoke and mirrors . A team cannot keep winning every 2-3 point game they play in. At some point it will revert to the mean

You and I clearly have different definitions of "stink".

I mean stink as in "not as good as advertised " but I'll tell you what I'll do .

Maryland is 6-1 in the B10. I'll offer you an avi bet.

I say the Terps finish 10-10 or worse in the B10. You get 11-9 or better ( so basically they just need to go 5-8 the rest of the way). Loser rocks an avi of the winners choosing during the NCAA tourney .

You in?

So you mean "overrated". Got it.

No, I'm not in.

Fine. Name your stakes that you do care about

Look dude...it's clear you dislike Maryland. That's cool. I was just calling you out on your dumbass comment that they stink.

But you aren't willing to back up your claim by placing a wager that they'll go 5-8 or better in the last 13. Got it. Go back to the NFL board . People here on this board actually know what they're talking about

It's laughable that you think you know what you're talking about.

Glad you brought up the NFL. You know who actually did stink? The Falcons. That is an appropriate use of the word.

I certainly don't think MD stinks. Every metric out there rates them as a top 25 team, with most in the top 20. They've won some close games, sure, but winning close games against tournament caliber teams is the sign of a good team IMO. They could easily be undefeated, or have 6/7 losses. Having 3 is probably about right. They are also one of the youngest teams in the country. And already have two road wins. They are 4-2 against Q1 and 6-3 against Q2. They have the 3rd best talent in the league and I don't think it's particularly close either.
