Quick Lane Bowl

Dec. 26 – 2:30 p.m., ESPN

Ford Field, Detroit

Average Line: Maryland , -1.5

Let’s get the one that everybody cares about out of the way.

This is a contest that most betters are not going to care about and with good reason. It’s very difficult to predict who is going to come out on top.

Neither offense is exactly lethal, but the Terps do have significantly more talent than the Eagles. Quarterback Perry Hills is the true x-factor in this one.

It was obvious how much Maryland missed him in the games that he missed. He’s completing 66 percent of his passes and is going to need to have a strong game against a very talented Boston College defense.

If Maryland’s offensive line can hold their own against Boston College’s front seven, the Terps can definitely win.

Prediction: Maryland wins 27-21
