College Basketball Betting Trends
Bryant
The Bulldogs are 6-2 ATS in their last eight road games. Bryant is 1-5 ATS in its last six Sunday games.
Maryland
The Terrapins are 2-7-1 ATS in their last 10 Sunday games. Maryland is 2-5 ATS in last seven games overall.
Prediction:
The Terrapins are coming off two straight road losses, but this seems like a great get right spot. The problem is how big the spread is. The Bulldogs have played a pretty easy schedule, but did play Rutgers very tough on the road in a two-point defeat. I think this one eventually tilts in favor of Maryland by a good margin, but I expect Bryant to stay within the big spread.
