The Maryland Terrapins are on the struggle bus right now and their inability to get stops defensively has become a major issue. The Minnesota Golden Gophers have had a week off to get rested for this game, and they beat the snot out of a title contender in Michigan their last time out. Maryland is heading in the wrong direction and Minny has covered six straight at home. I’ll lay the chalk.
