Ohio State at Maryland picks and predictions

Prediction

Ohio State 71, Maryland 66

Moneyline

Not available.

Against the spread

BET OHIO STATE -1.5 (-105).

Ohio State is 1-1 on the road this season. In Big Ten play, the Buckeyes are 1-2 ATS against conference opponents while Maryland is just 1-3 ATS against Big Ten teams.

Ohio State is competent on both sides of the court, ranking 42nd in opponents’ FG percentage (39.8%) and 19th in FG percentage (49.2%). Maryland has struggled offensively, sitting 166th in FG percentage (44.8%).

Ohio State has just 1 win within 5 points, so if this comes down to the wire, I would expect it to end by more a single point. Considering the Buckeyes’ strength in conference play and Maryland’s issues offensively, back OHIO STATE -1.5 (-105).

Over/Under

LEAN UNDER 140.5 (-105).

Again, both defenses are legit, and Maryland’s offense is the key side for either team that hasn’t lived up to expectations.

The Terrapins have gone Under in 8 of their last 9 and are 4-11 O/U this season. They have scored under 65 points in 2 straight games. Ohio State has scored 73 or fewer in its last 2 and is 1-1 O/U over its last 2.

Ohio State at Maryland odds, lines, picks and predictions

Prediction

Ohio State 71, Maryland 66

Money line

Ohio State is much the better shooting team — inside and outside the arc — and the Buckeyes have recently shot well on the road. Figure their Feb. 9 loss at Rutgers as a wake-up call for this trip against similar Maryland.

However, this price tag is too much: PASS.

Against the spread

The Buckeyes are 8-2 ATS in their last 10 games overall. The Terrapins are 4-10-2 ATS in their last 16 games as home underdogs.

OSU’s defense has trended toward sharper performances since the Rutgers loss. BACK THE BUCKEYES -4.5 (-107).

Over/Under

Free throws, transition buckets, and put-backs won’t color much of this one between two teams at the slower end of the pace continuum.

TAKE THE UNDER 141.5 (-107).

Ohio State at Maryland: Three things to know

  1. Ohio State went to Iowa City and upset Iowa 89-85 Thursday as a 5-point underdog – the Hawkeyes were ranked No. 8 in last week’s Coaches Poll. The Buckeyes, who trailed 61-50 before a 17-5 run, received 16 points apiece from sophomore F E.J. Liddell, junior G Duane Washington Jr. and senior F Kyle Young. Liddell leads OSU in scoring (15.4 points per game) and rebounds (6.9 RPG).
  2. Maryland has alternated wins and losses over its last six games, most recently falling at Penn State 55-50 Friday as a 3-point dog. Eric Ayala was the only Terrapin to score in double figures, finishing with a career- and game-high 23 points. The junior point guard leads Maryland with 14.4 PPG and 1.2 steals per game.
  3. The rivals split their two games last season with the home team coming out on top. Ohio State claimed a 79-72 victory as a 2.5-point favorite last February; Maryland won 67-55 as a 2.5-point favorite 6½ weeks earlier. The Terps are a career 5-1 vs. the Buckeyes at home, including victories in the last five meetings and 4-0 since joining the Big Ten.

Ohio State at Maryland: Odds, lines, predictions and picks

Prediction

Ohio State 71, Maryland 63

Money line (ML)

PASS. Ohio State shouldn’t have a problem winning here, but the -200 money line price is not worth the risk.

Against the spread (ATS)

OHIO STATE -4.5 (-110) is the STRONGEST PLAY – 1½ times your usual wager. If the Buckeyes, winners of four in a row and seven of eight, aren’t the best team in the Big Ten, they’re definitely playing like it.

OSU is 4-0 in its last four conference road games, all vs. teams ranked in the top 15 at the time. The four victories came against then-No. 14 Rutgers, then-No. 13 Illinois, then-No. 10 Wisconsin and most recently Iowa.

ATS: Ohio State 11-7-1 | Maryland 7-11

Over/Under (O/U)

The UNDER 139.5 (-110) is the play. Maryland, which has played four Unders in a row, is the lowest scoring team in the Big Ten. The Terps average 69.7 PPG in all games and 62.8 PPG in conference play.

They can go stretches without scoring. In the Penn State loss, they missed their last 10 field-goal attempts over the final 7:32.

O/U records: Ohio State 11-8 | Maryland 9-8-1
