Pick
I’m sticking with the under here. Maryland has been far less effective on the road compared to their marks at home this season and I’m not trusting Minnesota to do much of anything the rest of the season. This is a low total, but it wouldn’t surprise me if this was a first to 60 wins kind of game. Give me the under here.
