Maryland is coming into this game with an 8-1 record this season and they are 1-0 in the conference. Their only loss this season came at home by 4 points against Marquette, and they have won their last 5 straight games since then. They have been dominant in a lot of their recent games, but they have also played 8 of their 9 games at home this season. Their only game that was away from home was a game against Villanova in a neutral location, and they only won that game by 1 point. They are coming off of a dominant win at home against Ohio State in their last game, beating them 83-59, but this is going to be their 1st road game of the season now. They are going up against a Purdue team that is 7-2 this season and they are 0-1 in the conference. They have won 3 of their last 4 games with some quality wins in that span, beating Ole Miss as well as NC State, but they are coming off of a loss to Penn State in their last game. They lost that game by 11 points on the road, and their only other road game this season was also a loss to Marquette. They have played much better at home this season though, winning all 5 of their games there by 9+ points, and that includes a 9 point win over a ranked Alabama team. Purdue has some quality wins this season and they have played much better at home so they are going to be hungry to bounce back here after losing their 1st conference game. Purdue will cover the spread in this game.
