The current betting odds have Maryland listed as a 14 point underdog in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. Maryland hasn't looked good in their games this season with their 4-6 record overall and their 1-6 conference record which has them right near the bottom of the Big Ten. They don't have much left to play for this season, but they are still playing for bowl eligibility if they win out. Meanwhile, Michigan has looked really good in their games this season with their 8-2 record overall and their 6-1 conference record which has them right near the top of the Big Ten. They are currently ranked inside the top 25 teams in the nation and they do have a chance at the CFP if they win their last 2 games. They haven't looked as good in their road games though with their 3-2 road record this year. They are off a 24-22 win over Northwestern in their last one which was at a neutral site, but they have played in some much closer games when they haven't been at home. Maryland is off a 24-9 loss to Illinois in their last one and wasn't that competitive in the game, but they have looked better in their home games this year. Michigan hasn't been blowing out many teams this season, especially in their road games, and Bryce Underwood has struggled a lot more in these road games too. Michigan won't be able to pull away by too much as that hasn't been their identity this season so look for Maryland to bring their best effort against a ranked opponent at home. The best way to place a bet here is on Maryland to cover the spread in this game.
