Alcorn State Braves vs Maryland Terrapins prediction
I’m not running to the window to lay this sort of number with the Maryland Terrapins, a team that can’t score the ball consistently and is 2-7 ATS. However, the Alcorn State Braves have had chance after chance against good teams this season, and they’ve showed little promise at either end of the floor. Alcorn State struggles defensively and is 3-5 ATS on the year. If there’s a game Maryland looks good, it’s probably here. It’s Terps or pass for me.
