 10-3 Iowa will host 8-4 Maryland at 9 EST tonight. We will take the Hawkeyes laying the 8 points as I believe this Maryland team is overrated and this will also be their first true road game of the season. Maryland is (3-12 ATS) off an ATS win over the L2 seasons while Iowa is (28-12 ATS) in home games. Iowa has a 54.6% effective FG% compared to Maryland's 47.4% and Iowa has way more depth ranking #16 in bech minutes compared to Maryland who is #303. Iowa has covered 3 straight games which puts them in a system of favorites after 3 consecutive covers as a favorite in a game involving two teams with a .600 to .800 win percentages (50-19 ATS) L5 seasons.

Pick: IOWA -8.5
