T.M. Selection: Maryland.

I like Maryland to cover the spread against Northwestern in this game on Sunday. Maryland has lost 2 games in a row now and their most recent loss was very close by 4 points. I think that they are due for a bounce back in this game at home here. Maryland has looked good on defense this year and have only given up 70+ points in 2 different games this year. They also lost the last time they were on their home court and I think they will be looking to avenge that loss and get a win on their home court here by an impressive amount. This is the 1st game of their conference play too and I think that they are going to start themselves in a good position with a big win here. Northwestern started the year good but they have lost 2 games in their previous 3 now. 1 of those losses was on a neutral court but the other loss in their most recent game was on the road and they haven't played in any other road games this year but, they lost their only game on the road and have a conference game on deck where the environment is going to be really hostile for them. Northwestern has not looked that great on defense either, in their 2 losses they gave up 77 points to each team. I think that Maryland is the better team here and I think they are going to win this game at home with their good defense. I like Maryland to cover the spread here.

T.M. Prediction: 72-64 Maryland.
