In this story:

Virginia (0-2) is a two-touchdown underdog for its week 3 game on the road against Maryland (2-0) on Friday night in College Park. UVA is currently +14 against Maryland and ESPN's Football Power Index is giving the Cavaliers just a 14.1% chance to beat the Terrapins. 

Virginia comes into week 3 winless on the season, while Maryland is 2-0, having defeated Towson 38-6 and Charlotte 38-20. 

Virginia has been an underdog in each of its first three games of the season. UVA lost both of its previous games, but covered the spread in last week's loss to James Madison, so Virginia is 1-1 against the spread so far this season: 

Week 1: Virginia (+27.5) lost to Tennessee 49-13
Week 2: Virginia (+6.0) lost to James Madison 36-35

The over/under is currently set at 49.
