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.

Through specific forms of line movement, Sports Insights Bet Signals have confirmed five separate instances of pro money hitting Maryland, all five of which came after the spread had reached +20 or higher.

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).

Model Projections edge: Maryland
