Wisconsin basketball is heavily favored vs. Maryland according to BetMGM

The Badgers are heavy favorites at home today

The No. 6 Wisconsin Badgers are unsurprisingly heavy favorites over a Maryland team that has started 0-2 in the Big Ten. Is BetMGM giving the Terrapins enough points?

Wisconsin is currently a 9.5-point favorite over Maryland, meaning that a bet on the Badgers spread would only cash if UW won by 10 points or more. The Badgers are also a massive -550 favorite to win, meaning you would need to risk $550 to win $100 on Wisconsin to win the game outright.

Maryland has started 0-2 in the Big Ten, with a 14-point home loss to Rutgers and a three-point loss at Purdue that only became close late in the second half. This certainly feels like a spot where Wisconsin should cruise at home against an inferior opponent that struggles for offense. The Badgers are 2-0 in the conference, coming off of a massive win at Michigan State where they covered the spread.
