After starting the season 5-0, the Maryland Terrapins lost consecutive games to Ohio State and Illinois to fall to 5-2. With the bye, the Terrapins are looking to get back on the right track as they visit the Northwestern Wildcats on Saturday.

Like the Terrapins, Northwestern is looking to get back on the right track after losing on Saturday to Nebraska, 17-9.  The Wildcats lost their first game this year, and have rotated wins and losses in every week since then. With that in mind, could the Wildcats be in store for a win?

Vegas doesn’t think so, and the Terrapins are expected to get back on the right track. Maryland is currently a 13-point favorite on the road.

Circa Sports revealed their opening lines on Sunday, and it has the Terrapins as 13-point favorites with an over/under of 51.5 points. Fans can use the signature FanDuel Maryland promo code to get in on the weekly action!

The Terrapins are 5th in the B1G East at 2-2 in league play, while Northwestern is currently 1-3 in conference play and tied with Purdue at 5th in the B1G West.

Last year when these two teams played, Maryland won, 31-24 in Evanston. This year’s kickoff is scheduled for 12 p.m. ET on Saturday and will be on the B1G Network.
