Over on the Maryland side, they got started with four wins over FAU, Northern Illinois, Towson and Wisconsin before falling to Washington.

Maryland vs Michigan Prediction
I’ll just stay with Michigan. That said, after last weekend I’m not super high on them. The Wolverines posted a nice 496 yards with 216 rush yards, 6.4 yards per play, 25 first downs and a 9-of-14 success rate on third downs during their win over Northwestern on Saturday. The defense was great as well with 245 yards, 11 first downs and 2-of-12 on third-down tries allowed. The glaring stat, however, was the five turnovers (three lost fumbles). It nearly ruined the game for the Wolverines. Relatively speaking, Michigan has been a bit tepid when it comes to scoring lately. They’ve been at 24 or fewer points in three of the last four outings—all victories, granted—but all three of those came versus unranked teams. The Wolverines need a blowout showing on the road Saturday.
As for Maryland, they couldn’t get much going against a pretty solid Illinois defense in their last matchup, notching just 293 total yards, 18 first downs and 3-of-12 on third downs. The Terrapins haven’t been north of 20 points in four straight games themselves, losing all four of those. Maryland has given up 24 or more points in each of their last three games as well, so Michigan should have plenty of scoring opportunities in this weekend’s matchup.
