Wisconsin vs Maryland Prediction

Wisconsin has done a good job of beating up on the teams it’s supposed to beat up on this season. Whether it’s Rutgers, Michigan State, or Eastern Michigan, Wisconsin has blazed lesser opponents and has covered 3 straight games as a favorite. Maryland has more talent than it has had in past years but still struggles stepping up in competition. Maryland is 108th in rushing offense and 74th in scoring offense. That one-dimensional offense isn’t going to fly against this Wisconsin defense.

Also, Maryland can be leaky defensively and is actually 118th in scoring defense. Wisconsin is just the better, more physical team and should have its way in this spot. Home field also doesn’t help Maryland, where it’s 1-4 SU on the season. I’m going to lay the points with the Badgers. I’m on Wisconsin on Saturday afternoon.
