It does seem really high - I thought it'd be in the 5.5-7.5 range. At any rate, it's weird because I was told here in the last few days that Maryland would be favored at TCF.
If partially directed at me, I'll fess up. Last week I mentioned something about if the spread was anywhere in the Gophers +4 and Gophers -4, it would be a tough decision on which way to go. In fairness, though, that was before Maryland lost their QB and before I watched them look terrible. After watching their game on Saturday, I no longer believed they could possibly be favored against us.
All that said, I don't feel comfortable betting on this game in either direction. I could see us winning by a couple TDs, but I could also see it being a tight game because, although Maryland's defense isn't great, it likely will be the biggest and fastest we have seen. I think we will know a lot more about our offense after Saturday...I'm fairly confident our defense will be to more or less able to shut them down with their 3rd string QB.
