In a game that holds the key to both teams’ bowl dreams, Maryland (4-5) is set to clash with Rutgers (5-4) in a game of pivotal significance.
Following a victory over Minnesota, Rutgers managed to break a four-game losing streak. However, their offense, led by the unpredictable QB Athan Kaliakmanis, remains a mystery. The Scarlet Knights’ running game, largely dependent on the uncertain status of Kyle Monangai, adds to the suspense.
Despite offensive line issues leading to an erratic offense, Maryland’s resilience shines through. The rushing game may suffer, but QB Billy Edwards’ excellence and the robust defense of the Terps stand as a testament to their strength and determination.
Maryland’s home-field advantage and more potent offence should give them the edge.
Total Bet: Over 49.5 points. Both sides have shown that they can score points, particularly via air.
