Maryland vs. Wisconsin betting prediction
The Maryland Terrapins and Wisconsin Badgers have both struggled lately, with the latter program falling out of the AP Top 25 Poll in the latest update after being ranked as high as sixth three weeks ago.
Despite recent struggles, Wisconsin's only loss at home during that stretch came against the then-No.2-ranked Purdue Boilermakers. In fact, the Badgers' only home losses the entire season have come against the Boilermakers and the No.5-ranked Tennessee Volunteers, two programs vying for a No.1 seed in the NCAA Tournament.
Look for Wisconsin to continue to play well at home as they defeat Maryland by at least seven points.
Pick: Wisconsin Badgers -6.5 (-110)
