Maryland vs. Oregon Prediction
I’m on the over here. Maryland in their last two road games has been absolutely crushed, giving up points in bunches. Oregon at home is a different animal and 30-35+ points a night is the norm for the Ducks. On the other hand, Maryland’s offense is respectable and has put up points in other spots as well this season so give me the over.
