Maryland vs Rutgers Prediction
Maryland isn’t a good team and not a side you should make a habit of backing. However, Maryland is coming off monster upsets over Minnesota and Iowa. Maybe it’s a turning point? Regardless, you have to give credit where credit is due. Rutgers is 7-3 ATS in its last 10 games and has had a brutal schedule, but it also hasn’t won a game in over a month. Now I’m supposed to lay points? Rutgers hasn’t been favored since December and is 0-6 ATS in its last 6 games as a favorite. I can’t get there with Rutgers. Give me Maryland and the bucket.
