ANALYSIS

We are backing Maryland +18.5 as massive public sentiment has inflated this line beyond the Terrapins' recent form, most notably an overtime battle against No. 15 Iowa just 48 hours ago. While the Spartans are ranked No. 10, they have shown vulnerability through high turnover rates, and Maryland’s David Coit—who recently set a program record with 43 points—provides the explosive scoring necessary to keep this within the number. We expect a more competitive conference grind than the market suggests as Michigan State settles back in after a demanding West Coast road trip.
