Maryland vs UNLV Prediction
I considered UNLV, as this will pretty much be a home game and there’s going to be energy in the building. Maryland and its 1-4 ATS record also isn’t attractive. However, has been a scoring machine this season and has a quality win over Marquette. While one game doesn’t define a season, we also saw UNLV lose to Montana and UT Martin has a double-digit favorite. If UNLV can’t get up for games it’s supposed to win, I question it has the discipline to win a game like this. We’re laying a bucket. Give me the Terps.
