T.M. Selection: Maryland (8* START-UP).

Minnesota lost its season opener to Michigan by a score of 49-24. Maryland also lost its opener, losing 43-3 to Northwestern. I expect a much better game from both teams, but I also look for this one to end much tighter than what this spread would suggest. Both teams struggled with consistency on both sides of the ball. Minnesota QB Tanner Morgan had 197 passing yards, one touchdown and one interception. Maryland's offense struggled as well, as Taulia Tagovailoa and Lance LeGendre combined to pass for just 143 yards. Minnesota is the better team here, but I expect it to have a fight on its hands until the final moments. Grab the points!

T.M. Prediction: 35-25 Minnesota.
