Maryland Easily Handles Spread Vs. Northern Illinois
Anyone that is contemplating the large spread for Maryland on college football sportsbooks should not be at all. The Terps absolutely showed out in Week 1 with a 32-point win over FAU, led by their true freshman QB, Malik Washington.
Washington posted 258 passing yards and three touchdowns with a 62.8% completion rate. Not only was Maryland dominant on offense, but defensively, they allowed just one touchdown in the first quarter vs. FAU and shut them out for the remainder of the game.

On the other end, while Northern Illinois took home a win in Week 1 against Holy Cross, they did so by just a 19-17 margin. Also, their QB play was nothing special at all. They totaled just 109 passing yards and an interception in the pass game. As a whole, the offense scored just one touchdown.
In a game that is expected to see Northern Illinois trailing big and forced to throw with a weak passing game already, it’s hard to imagine Maryland not winning and failing to cover the spread.
