ESPN’s FPI is predicting the outcome of every Week 3 game, including an old ACC rivalry renewed for Maryland.

This week, the Terrapins will face ACC foe Virginia, a team Maryland used to play an on annual basis in ACC play. However, the two sides have not faced off since a 2013 matchup, the last before Maryland left for the Big Ten.

Now, the two sides face off for bragging rights, but the two programs are heading in opposite directions. Maryland is looking to get back to another bowl game under Mike Locksley while Tony Elliott’s Cavs are 0-2 with losses to Tennessee and James Madison.

According to the Football Power Index, the Terrapins will have an 86.1% chance of walking away with a win this weekend in a Friday night matchup. Fans interested in taking part in the betting action can use our special Maryland sports betting promo code to get started!

Taulia Tagovailoa is off to another solid start with 547 passing yards and 4 touchdowns to start the season. Roman Hemby is also leading the ground attack with 220 yards and 7.1 yards per carry through 2 games.
