Maryland vs Michigan State Prediction 

Michigan State comes into this matchup looking for their first conference win of the year, as they continue to find ways to lose. The Spartans have been competitive in their last three games, but should have beaten Minnesota and Iowa in two of their last three games. Maryland hasn’t been much better this season, but they do have one win in Big Ten play. The Terrapins have allowed 35+ points in three of their last four games and they haven’t been competitive in their last four. I know this Michigan State team is elite at losing close games, but I think they will get a comfortable win here. Take the Spartans to cover.
