The matchup
Wisconsin enters having won its last outing 31-10 over Rutgers Scarlet Knights, part of a stretch that includes a 24-7 win over USC Trojans and a 31-3 win over Michigan State Spartans mixed in with losses to Iowa Hawkeyes (0-30) and UCLA Bruins (7-17). The Badgers have scored 220 points this season while allowing 147.
Maryland has also won its last game, a 34-29 decision over Purdue Boilermakers, after dropping three of its previous four, including a 17-20 loss to Illinois Fighting Illini and a 30-37 loss to Rutgers Scarlet Knights. The Terrapins have put up 249 points on the season but have given up 282.
Key matchups
This one comes down to which side's season-long numbers hold up. Wisconsin's defense, which has allowed just 147 points, faces a Maryland offense that has managed 249 points on the year. The Terrapins have shown they can score, evidenced by their 34-29 win over Purdue Boilermakers last week.
On the other side, Maryland's defense has allowed 282 points this season, and it will need to find a way to slow a Wisconsin offense that has scored 220 points, including wins by scores of 31-10 and 31-3 over the past month and a half.
The pick
Wisconsin is favored by 9.0 points, with the market pegging the score at 26-17 and the total set at 42.5. Given Wisconsin's stingier scoring defense and its recent 31-10 win, the edge points toward the Badgers covering a road trip against a Maryland team that is 3-6 despite its own recent win.
