Before you make any Purdue vs. Maryland picks or college football predictions, you NEED to see the predictions from the SportsLine Projection Model.

The SportsLine Projection Model simulates every FBS college football game 10,000 times. Over the past six-plus years, the proprietary computer model has generated a stunning profit of more than $3,100 for $100 players on its top-rated college football picks against the spread. Anyone who has followed it has seen HUGE returns!

The model knows Maryland redshirt junior Taulia Tagovailoa has established himself as one of the top quarterbacks in the country. He is ranked in the top 25 in completion percentage (75.5), completions per game (24), passing yards (1,416) and total offense (301.6), which is tops in the Big Ten. Tagovailoa currently has the fifth-best single season completion percentage in FBS history. Tagovailoa had a record-setting game against Michigan State last week, becoming the fastest to eclipse the 6,000-career passing yardage mark in Terrapins history.

The model also knows Purdue is led by senior quarterback Aidan O'Connell. O'Connell has completed 113 of 174 passes (64.9 percent) for 1,199 yards and eight touchdowns. He has been picked off three times and sacked four times, but has a rating of 134.6. In Week 2, he was nearly perfect, completing 17 of 19 passes (89.5 percent) for 211 yards and four touchdowns.

Now, the model has set its sights on Purdue vs. Maryland. We can tell you it is leaning Under the total, and it also says one side of the spread hits in nearly 60% of simulations! You ABSOLUTELY need to see it before locking in any college football picks.
