College Football Week 10 Odds, Picks & Prediction: Maryland vs. Wisconsin

This game is a little shorter than the games I like to highlight here, but the spot is too perfect to pass up.

Maryland is having their best season in over a decade, and after an injury scare a few weeks ago, will get QB Taulia Tagovailoa back for this matchup with Wisconsin. Tagovailoa's QB rating has put him in the same stratosphere as some of the best passers in college football on the year. He's led a Maryland pass offense that has ranked 20th in EPA pass offense. On top of this, they've compiled a 23rd-ranked EPA run offense. All of this has added up to a 19th-ranked SP+ offense that has kept them in every game they've played, including against an elite Michigan defense.

Wisconsin QB Graham Mertz has been a Jekyll and Hyde candidate this season, having great games in wins over Northwestern and Purdue, but playing quite poorly against other Power 5 teams. Wisconsin's offense seems to go as his play goes in drastic contrast to past Wisconsin offenses.

Maryland has not been a world-beater defensively, ranking 57th in defensive SP+, but has performed well against the pass, ranking 30th in EPA pass defense. They are capable of taking Graham Mertz out of rhythm.

With a dynamic offense that can score on any opponent when healthy, Maryland is a scary team to play in the Big Ten. Their defense will need to step up, but against a Wisconsin offense that has already failed to show up in a few games this year, they have an excellent opportunity to pull off the upset in Madison.

Pick: Maryland ML (+165)
