Colorado State vs. Maryland Prediction:
I’m going to roll with the Terps to cover the spread in this matchup. The Rams have been on a great streak but Maryland has played well lately as well, covering in 7 of their last 10 games and 4 of their last 5. Maryland is 7-5 ATS against non-conference opponents while Colorado State is 4-8. The Terps also rank better in both offensive efficiency and defensive efficiency. I think they follow up their blowout win over Grand Canyon with another big win on Sunday.
Colorado State vs. Maryland Prediction: Maryland -7.5
