Maryland is on its way to a bowl at 5-2. They have a balanced offense behind QB Taulia Tagovailoa (16 TDs, 5 INTs) and RB Roman Hemby (414 yards, 4.9 ypc). Northwestern's offense is banged up with injuries averaging just 15 points over the last three contests. That includes QB Ben Bryant, who has missed the last two games and is questionable. Backup QB Brendan Sullivan (3 TDs, 2 INTs) has been sacked 14 times and gets no help from a running attack that averages 2.9 yards per carry. Northwestern is 10-25 ATS at home off back-to-back games that went UNDER the total. Maryland beat a healthier Northwestern team last year, 31-24, with 257 yards rushing and this is a good matchup for the visitors. Play Maryland.

Premium Picks
Northwestern at Maryland
Maryland QB Taulia Tagovailoa was carted off the field last week in the Terps game vs Indiana. He re-aggravated a sprained MCL and is said to be a game-time decision. I really don't expect him to play, and if he does, he will not be near 100%. I don't think the line has been adjusted enough. Northwestern has been a competitive 1-5 team. Aside from last week's blowout vs Wisconsin, the Wildcats have stayed within 10 in all of their other 4 losses which include games vs Penn St., and Duke. Northwestern is a bit weaker against the pass but has been average against the run, and I would think Maryland is going to look to run the ball, shorten the game and get out with a win. I like Northwestern in this one.
