The Michigan State Spartans (2-2, 0-1 Big Ten) and the Maryland Terrapins (3-1, 0-1) meet Saturday at SECU Stadium. Kickoff is scheduled for 3:30 p.m. ET (FOX Sports 1). Below, we analyze Tipico Sportsbook’s lines around the Michigan State vs. Maryland odds, and make our expert college football picks and predictions.
The Spartans rose quickly in the rankings with a pair of impressive wins over two MAC teams to open. The offense was fire, the defense was solid, and things were looking up. However, Michigan State has slipped to .500 with 2 losses in a row at Washington (39-28) and home to Minnesota (34-7).
The Terrapins opened the non-conference schedule with a 3-0 SU/2-1 ATS record, but they lost their conference opener 34-27 at Michigan last Saturday. However, it did give the No. 4 Wolverines a very difficult time in The Big House and cashed as a 17-point underdog.
