Maryland Terrapins vs Tennessee Volunteers: Prediction
The Volunteers are 4-0 against the spread in their last four games. They're also 4-0 against the spread in their last four games after a straight win and 5-1 against the spread in their last six games played on Sunday.
There have been no recent meetings between the two teams, but both are in fine form at the moment. However, Tennessee has an advantage over Maryland, as they're hosting the game and have an excellent defense. It could be a tough task for the Terrapins to break that defense.
