Maryland has one of the best wide receiving rooms in the country and SMU's offense has not lost any potency in the transition from Sonny Dykes to Rhett Lashlee. Throw in some injury issues in the Terps' secondary and these two up-tempo attacks are poised to put up plenty of points on Saturday night. One look at the spread, where Maryland is a narrow favorite, and the total tells you everything you need to know about this game. It's the Chuck Brown special in suburbs of DC because this game feels like Bustin' Loose.

If I see a total this high, I'm going Under. It's really that simple. The Terps have scored 30-plus points in eight of nine non-conference games under Coach Mike Locksley. I'm quite sure they score at least 30 again but as long as not 45ish we should be fine. SMU has a likely future NFL wideout in Rashee Rice (17-298-3), but Maryland has one of the Big Ten's top defensive backs to stick on him in Jakorian Bennett. His 21 pass breakups since the beginning of 2021 are the most in the country. The Under is 4-1 in SMU's past five on the road.
