Maryland Terrapins vs Nebraska Cornhuskers Point Spread Picks

A pair of 5-4 teams matchup in this game and Maryland has the edge offensively as it averages 30.7 points compared to 19.9 for Nebraska. The Cornhuskers had been beating the lesser teams in the Big 10, but then suffered a 20-17 loss to Michigan State on Saturday as a three-point favorite. Nebraska had only 129 passing yards and QB Heinrich Haarberg completed just 12 of 28 with no TDs and two interceptions for a 67.3 QB rating. Maryland is looking to snap a four-game skid after getting pounded 51-15 by Penn State. The Terrapins started the season 5-0 before running into some tougher competition. Taulia Tagovailoa has thrown for 2,486 yards and 21 TDs with seven picks this season, but he couldn't overcome the Nittany Lions' offensive onslaught last week. The Terrapins will have better luck this week against a weaker Huskers offense. Take Maryland - Max Play.

Nebraska needs to win its final two games for a shot at a Bowl game. The Huskers have plenty of offensive punch, averaging 419.5 yards per contest. They come off a loss to No. 15 Wisconsin despite 493 yards against a Badgers' defense that was allowing 231.4 yards per game entering the contest. Nebraska rolled up 674 yards against Illinois and had 514 against Indiana. The Huskers lead the Big-10 in plays of 40+ yards (19). The Cornhuskers are 7-3-1 ATS on the road against a team with a losing home record and face a bad Maryland squad that is 1-6 in the Big-10. Maryland's defense is awful, allowing an average of 43.2 points over the last seven games. Maryland is 7-16 ATS after allowing 200+ yards rushing in their last game, 5-12 ATS at home against teams with a losing road record, plus 3-11 ATS when following a bye week. Play Nebraska.

Nebraska is 8-2 but they have not played a very difficult schedule. While the game vs. Oregon early in the year looked to be a big game, the Ducks have had a bad season. The Nebraska defense has held its own outside of the Ohio State game where they were simply severely overmatched. The offense looked good vs. the likes of Fresno State, Wyoming, and Oregon as they scored 130 points, or 43.3 points per game in their first three. It has been a project since as the Huskers have managed just 21.9 ppg in Big-10 play. Maryland faces similar offensive problems. They scored 173 points in their first four games at 443.3 ppg vs. poor competition. They have since scored 94 in their last six games at 15.7 ppg. Both offenses have struggled, and looking at a line of over two TDs just doesn't add up for Nebraska - a team that hasn't topped 27 points in their last four. Take Maryland.
