Two teams from the Big Ten will be facing off when the Michigan Wolverines visit the Maryland Terrapins. The kickoff is set for 3:30 ET on Saturday.
Michigan is coming off of a win and Maryland is coming off of a loss.
The line opened up at 15.5 with the Wolverines laying it and that number is now up to 16. I have seen the total go from 56 to 57.5.
Michigan Wolverines
Michigan continues to play very good football. I have been very impressed with the way they have looked so far this year.
The Wolverines went on the road and beat Penn State last week by a score of 21-17. Although their opponent has not been a great team this year, it is never easy to walk into Beaver Stadium and get a win.
Against the Nittany Lions, Cade McNamara was 19/29 for 217 yards with 3 touchdown passes. He has played quarterback at a very high level so far this year. I look for him to have a good day against a defense in Maryland that is questionable at best.
Hassan Haskins had a big day running the football last week. He finished the day with 31 carries for 156 yards. I look for the running game to once again be very effective when they go against the Terps.
The defense has been a big strength of this team. It is no easy task to allow only 17 points to Penn State. I definitely feel this unit can have a very good day when they go against Maryland.
Maryland Terrapins
Maryland has really not been a good team this year. When it comes to the elite teams in the Big Ten, people do not think of them. They have a long way to go if they want their program to be on the level of a team like Ohio State.
The Terrapins lost to the Michigan State Spartans last week by a score of 40-21. I cannot say that score surprises me given how much better the Spartans are than them. Things will not get any easier this week when they have to face the Wolverines.
Taulia Tagovailoa was 29/48 for 350 yards with 2 touchdowns and 1 interception. I am not all that confident that he can have that great of a day against this stout defense of Michigan.
The running game was never able to get established a week ago. The Spartans did a good job of defending it. The leading receiver was Chigoziem Okonkwo who had 8 receptions for 112 yards.
The defense has simply not been good enough this year. They often allow a lot of points and yards. I would be surprised if they were able to keep this Michigan squad in check.

Free Week 12 NCAA Football Pick
Given how well Michigan has played this year, they are a team that I want to watch closely.
I like Michigan at -16 here.
4* Free Week 12 NCAA Betting Pick:
The Wolverines cannot play around here. These are games they must win and it should be in a convincing matter.
Yes, a lot of this pick is trust in Michigan, but another chunk of it is lack of trust in Maryland. I just have very little confidence in them covering this number.
I expect the Wolverines to move the ball up and down the football field in this game. I can see them just being too much for the Terps to handle as the game goes. If Michigan cares about their ranking, their goal should be to make this an uncompetitive game.
I will lay the wood with the Wolverines in this one.
