The Oregon State Beavers (8-4, 6-3 Pacific-10 Conference) and the Maryland Terrapins (6-6, 3-5 Atlantic Coast Conference) will meet for the first time ever when they do battle in the 2007 Emerald Bowl. Oregon State enters into this game on a roll, winning 6 of their last 7 games with the only loss coming to conference power house USC with their star RB Yvenson Bernard (1037 Yds, 12 TDs) out due to injury. Maryland are not an easy team either, and have wins against top programs like Boston College and Rutgers this season. These are two pretty good teams, but Im a fan of the Beavers HC Mike Riley , who have never lost a Bowl game with a 6-0 record, as the top guy in with his current team and as the offensive cooridnator with the USC Trojans. Oregon State is ranked 12th in the NCAA in total defense, allowing 313 yards per game , while ranking first in the nation against the run, allowing just 2.1 YPC. The Terps are 9-21 ATS L/30 away from home, against rush Ds, that allow 120 yard per game or less.

This Friday Night the bet is on the Oregon State Beavers -4.5!!
