Best Bet: January 23

Absolute matrix session yesterday. Ole Miss was beating Texas A&M for the ENTIRE game. Texas A&M did not lead ONCE in the game until the final 12 seconds, but that was enough to walk out of Mississippi with a W. We will bounce back today with an absolute LOCK.

Maryland Terrapins @ #17 Illinois Fighting Illini

The Maryland Terrapins are on the road this evening in a very hostile environment, none other than Champaign, Illinois. They are facing a Fighting Illini team that has picked up some solid wins over Oregon, Missouri, Wisconsin, Penn State, and Indiana. They have five losses on the season, all against Top 25 teams, excluding USC. They are coming off of a very close loss against Michigan State. Maryland on the other hand also has five losses, but three of the five losses were to top 15 teams. The Terrapins are in good form here and all of their losses have been in single digits. We expect this game to be a classic Big 10 matchup, one that is decided by less than five points. Give us Maryland on the points in this one.

Pick: Maryland Terrapins +7.5
