4* Free Spartans vs. Terrapins NCAA Betting Final Analysis:
Maryland has the best unit in the game with there offense. Michigan State struggled to slow down the spread of Washington earlier this year and could struggle to slow down the Maryland offense on Saturday. While Michigan State has the better history and bigger brand I think we see a motivated Maryland team that has a good amount of talent.
