The Maryland Terrapins have found some success in the Big-10, but they were beat up pretty badly at Ohio State. They have another tough venue to try and find a win in playing in Wisconsin this week. They have simply gotten beaten defensively by good offenses as the Buckeyes hit them for 52 points, and West Virginia put up 40. Wisconsin had a tough day vs. Northwestern, but against teams that do not defend well they have taken care of business. Wisconsin could go off here against Maryland especially with Melvin Gordon in the backfield. Gordon has eclipsed the 1,000 yard mark already, at just shy of eight yards per carry and that will keep the Maryland offense off the field, and shortens the game, so I think we will see very heavy doses of Gordon in this one. The Badgers' uncharacteristically allowed 28 points to Illinois last week at home, so they will be chomping at the bit for this one as they have allowed just 125 points in their last 11 home games at 11.4 points per game. That should put a lot of pressure on the total, which seems to be adjusted up after Illinois hit them for 28. I don't expect a repeat, so make the play on Wisconsin and the UNDER.
