Michigan at Maryland picks and predictions
Prediction
Michigan 41, Maryland 14
Moneyline
PASS.
There is no value on an undefeated, heavily favored Michigan squad.
Against the spread
BET MICHIGAN -19.5 (-105).
The Wolverines have covered in 4 of their last 5 games as a double-digit favorite. Their defense has been unstoppable this season not having allowed an opponent to score more than 15 points all year. Michigan has outscored opponents 170-32 on the road this season.
Maryland has lost 2 consecutive home games including a 51-15 loss against Penn State in early November. It failed to cover its only time this season playing as a double-digit underdog.
Over/Under
LEAN OVER 49.5 (-110).
While Maryland has not scored a lot recently, having just 28 points in their past 2 games, Michigan's offense is well capable of carrying the Over in this game. Prior to last week against a top-ranked Penn State team, the Michigan offense had scored at least 41 points in 5 straight weeks, including 3 times on the road.
