Maryland vs. UCLA Predictions
UCLA is 7-2 on the season, falling to No. 18 Illinois and No. 11 Baylor. While the Bruins are 7-0 in their other contests, they are still searching for a big win. UCLA has been favored by 10 points or more in all but one victory, and Oregon was the highest-ranked team (No. 39) they have beaten this year.
Maryland started the season hot with an 8-0 record while picking up quality wins over top 25 teams in Miami FL and Illinois. However, the Terps have dropped back-to-back outings against No. 22 Maryland and No. 6 Tennessee. However, neither of those losses came at home, as Wisconsin was on the road and Tennessee was at a neutral site. To that point, Maryland has an excellent chance to bounce back in front of its home fans.
This is a tough matchup for UCLA, who dropped its previous two games against non-conference power five teams. Take Maryland to get back on track.
