Nebraska vs Maryland Prediction 

Maryland comes into this matchup ranked #25 in the country and they have won five of their last six games, but they will be on the road for this game. The Terrapins are 2-4 in their last six road games and one of those wins came by just one point against Indiana, so they have had issues away from home. Maryland is shooting 48% from the field this year and they are scoring 82.8 points per game. Nebraska has won four games in a row and they have scored at least 77 points in each of those four games. The Cornhuskers are shooting 46.1% from the field this year and they are scoring over 76 points per game. Both teams come into this game playing very well, but I don’t trust Maryland on the road. Take Nebraska to win.
