College Football Sharp Pick: Minnesota vs. Maryland

After an initial push from its opening line of +17.5, Maryland is now listed at a price that sharps — along with our projections and experts — deem valuable.

Sharp Action edge: Maryland

Model Projections

Perhaps the reason sharps weren't quick to jump on Maryland is that their projection for this game is similar to that of our model's (compiled by Collin Wilson).

He pegs Maryland at +15, which wouldn't provide a ton of value at the opening number, but certainly opens up a betting opportunity at the current line.

Model Projections edge: Maryland
