Maryland vs Oregon Prediction
The current betting odds have Oregon listed as a 25 point favorite in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. Oregon has looked great in their games this season with their 9-0 record overall and their 6-0 conference record which has them at the top of the Big Ten with one of the best records in the entire nation, also ranked 1st overall in the land. They are coming off another win in their last one, beating Michigan on the road by 21 points, and now they will be back at home where they are 5-0 this season. Meanwhile, Maryland hasn't looked good in their games this season with their 4-4 record overall and their 1-4 conference record which has them right near the bottom of the Big Ten. They are 1-2 in their road games too and even though they are coming out of their bye week, they are still coming off a huge loss against Minnesota in their last one. Their defense hasn't looked good with the points they have been giving up lately and this is one of the best offenses in the nation that they will be facing so Oregon is going to put up points at home. This is also the only road game that Maryland has had to travel to the West coast for all season and the travel has been taking a toll on some of these Big Ten teams. The best way to place a bet here is on Oregon to cover the spread in this game.
