Michigan at Maryland picks and predictions
Prediction
Maryland 79, Michigan 75
Moneyline
PASS.
Maryland (-205) should pick up the win here, but a -205 favorite is not worth the risk of betting on, especially when Michigan has been so dominant in recent matchups with the Terrapins. Bet on the spread and/or Over/Under instead.
Against the spread
LEAN MICHIGAN +5.5 (-120).
Michigan has covered in 5 of its last 6 meetings with Maryland and is 8-2 straight up (SU) and ATS in the last 10. The Wolverines are also 2-1 SU on the road this season.
This is only a lean because both teams have been very bad at covering this season, with Michigan going 5-10 ATS and Maryland at 4-11 ATS.

Over/Under
LEAN OVER 138.5 (-115).
The Over is 7-3 in the last 10 Michigan-Maryland matchups and 7-3 in Michigan's last 10 overall. The Over is also 11-4 for the Wolverines this season.
While the Under has been safer for Maryland this year, I like the Terrapins to score considerably more than their average of 71.1 points per game (PPG) against this Michigan defense that allows 78.7 PPG.
