The Terrapins are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 road games and 1-4 ATS in their last 5 games in November.

The over is 6-0 in Badgers last 6 games overall.

The Maryland Terrapins have the offensive firepower to put a scare into the Badgers, but they’ve folded in their bigger games this season, and the rest of their schedule has been soft for the most part. Basically, I’m just not sure how good the Terps actually are. The Wisconsin Badgers can be clunky at times, but they’re a balanced team, and they’ve had their most offensive success at home. Not a game I’d touch personally, but it’s one Wisconsin probably should win by a touchdown or two.
