Rutgers vs Maryland Prediction
Rutgers hasn’t had much success on the road this season and Maryland plays its best ball at home. However, Maryland hasn’t done enough to be laying these sorts of numbers. Rutgers beat up on Maryland a couple of weeks ago, allowing just 57 points. Maryland is just not a good team and is 2-4 ATS in its last 6 games when favorites of 5 or more points. I’m not laying this number with Maryland. It’s Rutgers and the points to pass for me.
