Maryland vs Nebraska Prediction 

Nebraska comes into this matchup after alternating wins and losses over their last five games, but they are huge favorites to get the win here. The Cornhuskers are shooting 47% from the field and they have allowed 64 points or fewer in three straight games. Maryland has won three of their last five games, but they are shooting just 41% from the field. The Terrapins have shown some fight over the last few weeks, but I think this is a very tough spot for them. Take Nebraska to cover at home.
