Both of these teams stink. Nebraska has been the worst team in the Big Ten all year long, but it's played better as of late, and has done very well against the spread. Particularly as a home dog. Meanwhile, Maryland has lost five straight, has barely performed better than the Cornhuskers, and you're supposed to take it as a road favorite? No thanks.

This might be one of the few games that Nebraska can win in the conference this year. They're a measly 1-13 SU against the Big Ten this season. That's not great. However, Maryland might be vulnerable to a loss on the road here. The Terrapins are just 3-11 SU in Big Ten play and Nebraska is sneaky at home, posting a 7-1 ATS run in their last 8 on their own floor. Nebraska has played some of the good teams close in this run, too, covering as home underdogs against OSU, Illinois, Indiana, Wisconsin and Rutgers. The only recent home spread loss was to Northwestern, go figure. Anyway, if Nebraska can do it against the big names, I think they should have enough to notch a home win against Maryland or at least cover the +2.
