Maryland vs Wisconsin Prediction

Maryland are a bad team on both sides of the ball and not a team I’m excited to back. Maryland has gotten blasted when stepping up in competition and doesn’t cover enough ground to make it worth it. Wisconsin has covered 6 of its last 8 games, has played its best ball at home and has the offensive horses to beat up on lesser competition. Thick line, but it has a lot to do with how awful Maryland is. I have to side with Wisconsin in a blowout.
