Michigan State at Maryland Pick & Prediction For 9/7/2024

The Michigan State Spartans will take on the Maryland Terrapins on September 7, 2024, with the Spartans currently listed as 8-point underdogs according to DraftKings Sportsbook. Early betting trends show that 60% of spread bets are backing Michigan State, while 40% favor Maryland. The total of 44 has seen 62% of bets going towards the under, with 38% towards the over. It will be an exciting matchup between these two teams as they battle it out on the field in their first Big Ten game of the 2024 season.

Michigan State Offense Must Improve In Week 2

Michigan State quarterback Aidan Chiles urged bettors to bet the over in the Spartans’ game against Florida Atlantic in Week 1. While Michigan State won that game, their offense was dreadful in a contest that fell well short of the total. This week, Chiles and the Spartans have to be better offensively if they want to beat Maryland and move to 2-0 on the young college football season.

Chiles in particular was largely to blame for the offensive woes of the Spartans last week. He completed fewer than half of his passes and threw two interceptions, with red zone mistakes killing the Spartans offense and Chiles’ chances of giving out a winning pick. In his first road game with the Spartans, Chiles has to be more precise with the football.

Can Maryland Build On 50-Point Performance?

Maryland got a win at home over UConn in Week 1, putting up 50 points in a blowout victory over the Huskies. This week, the Terrapins are set to take on a tougher opponent than they did in Week 1. But this could be a week where the Maryland defense could feast once again after seeing how much Michigan State struggled in their season opener.

Offensively, quarterback Billy Edwards Jr. was impressive in Week 1 for the Terps. He completed 20 of his 27 pass attempts for 311 yards and two touchdowns. If he can deliver in a similar fashion against his first Big Ten opponent of the year, the Terps could be looking at a 2-0 record going into their first road game of the year against Virginia.

Michigan State vs Maryland Best Bet

Michigan State’s offense was outright dreadful in Week 1 against Florida Atlantic. But instead of fading the Spartans against the spread, we will take the under in this Michigan State vs Maryland matchup. Look for Chiles’ struggles to continue, but for the Spartans defense to keep them in what should be a low-scoring contest from College Park.
