The Terps open as 2.5-point underdogs for Saturday's game in Bloomington.
I know, some here think Indiana is infinitely better than Maryland and that after such a poor showing they have no chance of winning another game. But history (as in the first 9 games this season) shows that isn't the case. They are going to have a battle on their hands this week, but it is a winnable game and possibly their last real chance to become bowl eligible. I would expect them to play with some serious urgency this week. And it also helps that they should be able to run the ball again, as well. Indiana is 63rd nationally vs. the run compared to MSU (No. 1), Michigan (No. 7) and Iowa (No. 8).
