Terps are over in 7 of their last 8 at home, where they are able to run and gun, cut down on turnovers and get to the line more. I could see them scoring 90 vs an overmatched Huskers operation. The only unders in that home stretch were higher totals than this one. Terps D has been suspect lately and I fear a backdoor cover. Nebraska has played three straight overs, allowing 288 points in that span. They are a decent enough three point shooting team to take advantage of Maryland's issues defending the deep ball lately.
Like this spot for Maryland coming home after the tough loss to Northwestern. Nebraska hasn't been awful away from home this season but I don't love the matchup here. I think the Cornhuskers will struggle against Maryland's ball pressure defense that ranks 39th in potential quick points off breakaway steals, while Nebraska's offense ranks 224th in that category. I gave this out right away at -7.5. Try to get 8.5 or better. I'd say -9 is the cutoff.
