Maryland has been underrated all season long....they keep winning and contradicting Vegas. They have a very good home and road record. I look at the spread and see line moving from -6.5 to -7.5 for Wisconsin while we have around 72% on Maryland and 28% on Wisconsin.
Yes, I understand that probably larger money is on Wisconsin. Initial reaction is to take Maryland because of spread. Last 2 or 3 days, I have reacted on initial reaction but after reviewing and looking at this game....the play is Wisconsin. Why?
As mentioned, Maryland is very good. They win on both home and on the road and Wisconsin's best player may be out. They keep proving Vegas wrong and now we see what appears to be an inflated spread......going with my instinct and play Wisconsin. Should be close for most of the game but Wisconsin will break the game late in the second half.
This is a very similar spread from USC vs UCLA game from last night(-9.5 for UCLA). It just looked improbable that UCLA was favored by that much and we saw what happened.
Good luck on whatever you decide to play. Just my two cents for the forum.

The line moved from -6.5 to -8.5 because it was confirmed thst Wisconsin's best player will play. The spread then shot back down from 8.5 to 7 to 7.5 at some books. BOL

The spread is not inflated. If the game were at Maryland, Maryland would be 1 or 1.5 point dog depending on the book. Considering that Wiscy is ranked higher, that looks spot on to me. I'm on MD but there are plenty of reasons to expect a big Wiscy bounceback, but the line isn't one of them. BOL man

ProudjagsFan: that's a good point and that is what makes gambling hard....no exact formula to capping games. Wisconsin has a two games losing streak....I don't believe in the "they are due to win" mentality but these are kids. Vegas sees the same thing we do.

No Maryland does not prove Vegas wrong as a favorite going 6-8 ats.
Yes, Maryland proves Vegas wrong as a dog going 10-0 ats.
IMO, Maryland is a "lazy" team. When they are outright favorites they flash their superior abilities and then play down to their opponents allowing them back in a game. Don't bet Maryland as a fav. for this reason. As a dog they play a more complete game and often win (9-1).
The big question for me is whisky's Koenig. Without him they look lacking and he is their closer at end of games. Will he be 100%?
I'm gambling he will not, and even if he is I believe Maryland will cover.

Maryland is 0-6 ats on the road after a 20 point performance from Trimble, according to sbr. I don't hold too much stock in that though, i'm sure there are some random trends that speak for maryland, too. Spread dipping below 7...

With Koenig Wisconsin struggled against both Rutgers and Nebraska on the road and got whipped by Northwestern at home. He is not their bes playe, Haap is by a wide margin. This line seems off.

UNIMAN: yeah, I've been winning and losing with Maryland all season long....those are good points, reason why it's not an easy bet. I'm hoping that other badgers besides Koenig and Hayes step up.

Wisconsin is the worst ranked team in college basketball wrong team favored. I dont know where you got your piick from. No way they cover cover.
He explained exactly how he came up with his pick and it made sense. Still a lot of game left but Wisky is not looking good so far. Let them do a 6-0 run on them to end the half.
