One funny, one serious, both non-professional.

Conclusions:
1. The Badger's offense has an edge against against the Terrapins defense. Wisconsin is 4th in total offense and 5th in scoring offense (34.7 ppg) despite an anemic passing game versus Maryland's 12th in total defense and 10th in scoring D (26 ppg).
2. The Badger's defense has a slight edge against Maryland's offense. Maryland averages 35.1 (4th) ppg and is 7th in total D. The Badgers are 2nd in scoring (15.2 ppg) and total O 286 ypg). On the face of these stats, UW's defense is playing good football.
3. Maryland has excellent special teams and a big edge in this phase of the game. The Terrapins are good enough on offense and ST to win the game in these areas.
So 10 or 11 point spread for UW? Don't see that at all. This is a field goal game that will be decided by a few big plays. I'm going to go with...
