Nebraska vs Maryland Prediction

Nebraska should comfortably win this game, but the Huskers have cooled off over the last few weeks. Nebraska is also 3-7 ATS in its last 10 games as a double-digit favorite. Maryland still stinks, but wins over Washington, Iowa, and Minnesota as huge underdogs this month should turn some heads. This is the best Maryland has looked all season as the defense has improved. Maryland has also won 8 of the last 9 games against Nebraska for what that’s worth. I’ll take a stab with the free buckets and the Terps.
