Maryland vs Michigan Prediction & Pick

Michigan has dominated this series going 6-0 SU/ATS vs Maryland under coach Jim Harbaugh. The Wolverines rank No. 1 in the nation this season in scoring differential at +49.7 points per game. Michigan is averaging 497 yards per game (YPG) this season while Maryland counters at 502 YPG led by QB Taulia Tagovailoa. But the Wolverines defense is allowing just 194 YPG and 5.7 points per game (PPG) - both top-5 in college football.

Michigan is more balanced and living up to their No. 4 ranking with impressive one-sided wins over Connecticut, Hawaii and Colorado State. Maryland just allowed 30 first downs, 151 yards rushing and 369 yards passing at home to SMU. The Terps won't be able to slow the Wolverines with a league-best offensive line going up against a bottom-tier Big Ten defensive front.

Final Score Prediction: Michigan: 41 | Maryland: 13
