💰 Maryland vs. Michigan prediction & best bet
Michigan -7.5 (-114)
After losing five of six games to end January, Maryland has rattled off six consecutive wins, including two road triumphs over ranked opponents. However, Michigan is 13-1 at home, with its only loss coming by three points against No. 2 UCLA.
While Maryland is allowing just 62.1 points per game, the Terrapins have given up at least 70 points in six straight outings against ranked opponents. Michigan is averaging 85.1 points per game, and the Wolverines have scored 80-plus points in six of their last eight matchups.
Score prediction: Michigan 83, Maryland 71
💡 How I'm betting Maryland vs. Michigan
Follow all of our college basketball analysis and expert predictions this season.
Michigan has been so good at home this season that the Wolverines are worth a two-unit play, even as significant favorites against the No. 14 team in the country.
Currently, 19 of Michigan's 23 wins have been by double figures, including three of the Wolverines' five wins over ranked teams. While Maryland is red-hot, Michigan's defense has held four of its last five opponents to less than 70 points, which is why my play on the Over is only one unit.
The most similar opponent to Michigan that Maryland has faced is UCLA, and the Terrapins only scored 67 in that contest.
📊 Live Maryland vs. Michigan odds
The odds haven’t changed at all since opening earlier today. But I expect the public to back Maryland, especially since the school has beaten Michigan State and Ohio State on the road this month.
Still, this spread won’t drop below 6.5, so getting in on Michigan now is the right move. As for the total, both of these teams are averaging over 83 points per game, so I expect the number to increase. If it gets to 155 or higher, I’d take the Under instead of the Over, as both defenses have shut down good offenses at times this season.
