Pick
Maryland comes into this matchup in a free fall, as they have lost four games in a row and have looked horrible. On the other side, Nebraska is still in the race for the Big Ten West, but had a disappointing setback against MSU last week. Even with Maryland’s recent struggles, I think they are much better than this Nebraska team. Take the Terrapins on the road here.
David’s Pick Maryland -2.5
