Maryland Preview

Quarterback Malik Washington has been steady, completing 62 of 100 for 773 yards with 6 touchdowns and 1 interception. Maryland spreads the ball well: Shaleak Knotts leads with 196 yards receiving and 3 scores. The rushing attack has managed 350 yards on 58 carries (3.5 per attempt), which keeps the offense reliant on its short passing attack.

Defensively, linebacker Daniel Wingate leads with 28 tackles. The front has created pressure with Sidney Stewart’s three sacks and Zahir Mathis adding 2.5, while the secondary has seven interceptions. Maryland’s key challenge is slowing Wisconsin’s rushing attack while preventing big gains off play action.

Wisconsin Preview

Quarterback Danny O’Neil has been solid but has thrown too many picks, going 46-63 for 520 yards with 5 touchdowns and 4 interceptions. The ground game has been more balanced, producing 410 yards on 108 carries (3.8 per carry), highlighted by Dilin Jones with 134 yards and a score and an explosive 61-yard run from Trech Kekahuna. In the pass game, Jayden Ballard leads with 141 yards and two touchdowns.

On defense, Christian Alliegro has a team-best 12 tackles, while Wisconsin has recorded 9 sacks across multiple defenders and three interceptions including two by safety Preston Zachman. At home, the Badgers have allowed only 10 points total in two wins, showing a sharp contrast from the loss on the road to Alabama.

Maryland vs Wisconsin Prediction

Wisconsin will win this one at home. The Badgers’ run game and pass rush provide enough on both sides of the line of scrimmage to control the matchup, while Maryland’s limited ground output makes the Terps more predictable on the road. Final Score Prediction: Wisconsin Badgers win and cover ATS 30-20.
