Nebraska Cornhuskers vs. Maryland Terrapins Prediction

I’m on Maryland here. I’ve just been really impressed with what the Terps have brought to the table this season, and I think that they can give Nebraska a battle here. The Cornhuskers looked good against Michigan State offensively, but I think that the Terrapins keep this one close if not win this game outright. Give me the Terrapins and the points here.

Chris Ruffolo's Pick: Maryland +6.5
