Now, the model has set its sights on Maryland vs. Buffalo. You can head to SportsLine to see its picks. Here are several college football odds for Buffalo vs. Maryland:
- Maryland vs. Buffalo spread: Maryland -24
- Maryland vs. Buffalo over-under: 65 points
- Maryland vs. Buffalo money line: Maryland -2400, Buffalo +1150
Maryland brings back a ton of firepower offensively, starting with experienced quarterback Taulia Tagovailoa. He is playing behind an offensive line that returns all five starters from last season. Tagovailoa has some NFL-caliber receivers to work with, along with several strong running backs.'
Buffalo does not have the explosiveness to keep pace with Maryland's dynamic attack, so the Terrapins should pull away as the game progresses. The Bulls have only picked up one win in their last 10 tries against Big Ten opponents, and they covered the spread just once in their final seven games last season. Maryland has won 11 consecutive season openers and is poised to add another blowout victory on Saturday.'
Maryland was known for its strong passing attack last season, but Buffalo was even better at passing the ball. The Bulls are replacing their starting quarterback, so those numbers could dip this year. However, they have an experienced running back in Ron Cook Jr., who rushed 88 times for 440 yards last season.'
Senior wide receiver Quian Williams is also back in the fold after catching 64 passes for 835 yards in 2021. The Bulls have experience and depth up front defensively, which will allow them to apply pressure on Tagovailoa. Maryland only covered the spread twice in its final nine games last year, so there is a good chance that the Terrapins are overvalued to open the 2022 campaign.'
