Why Maryland can cover
The Terrapins know success and have already clinched their 27th consecutive winning season after knocking off Iowa 82-72 on Thursday night. The Terps are also on pace to record their 18th 20-win season over that span, and are looking to qualify for their fifth NCAA Tournament appearance over the past six years. Maryland is 4-0-1 against the spread in its last five games overall.
All-American candidate Jalen Smith has been on fire the past five games, averaging 21.6 points on 62 percent shooting, 11 rebounds and 2.4 blocks. Smith is also shooting 48 percent from 3-point range and 83 percent from the free-throw line during that stretch. Smith is tied for the Big Ten lead in double-doubles (12), including four straight, and ranks third in blocks (2.3 per game).
Why Rutgers can cover
Even so, the Terrapins aren't a lock to cover the Maryland vs. Rutgers spread. That's because the Scarlet Knights have been on a tear, winning 10 of their last 13 and are receiving votes in both national polls. Rutgers is also among the nation's best in a number of categories, including 12th in rebounding (40.9), 14th in field-goal percentage defense (38.0), 16th in scoring defense (61.1) and 18th in rebound margin (plus-7.1).
Forward Akwasi Yeboah is one of 19 active NCAA players with 1,500 points and 600 rebounds, ranking 50th in career points at 1,535 and 56th in rebounds at 666. Yeboah is second on the team, averaging 9.9 points per game and is also averaging 4.5 rebounds. He has been red hot over the past four games, averaging 14.5 points, including a 20-point performance in a 75-72 win over Nebraska on Jan. 25.
How to make Maryland vs. Rutgers picks
SportsLine's model is leaning under on the total. In fact, it says Rutgers sophomore guard-forward Ron Harper Jr. is going to score 2.2 fewer points than his average, while Maryland sophomore guard Aaron Wiggins will score more than a point less than his. It has also generated an against-the-spread pick that cashes in well over 50 percent of simulations. You can only get the pick at SportsLine.
