Rutgers vs. Maryland prediction

This game is not exactly featuring the Big Ten's finest. Both teams have struggled badly. Both teams are facing potential changes in the offseason. Both teams badly need a victory. That's where Rutgers has an advantage, because Greg Schiano's teams typically play well coming out of a bye week (13-8 in such instances under Schiano). The Scarlet Knights have also played well at Maryland in recent seasons (it's where they clinched bowl eligibility in 2024). Both these defenses are among the worst in the Big Ten, but Rutgers' offense is slightly better. If the Scarlet Knights can get a strong showing from running back Antwan Raymond and get the ball into the hands of WR KJ Duff, they're going to have another advantage.

Dylan Lonergan (or AJ Surace if Lonergan isn't healthy enough to play) must avoid turning the ball over, too. Look for Rutgers to pull out a close win. It won't be pretty, but it's a victory nonetheless.
