What are the odds for Penn State to defeat a Maryland team that has lost all of its Big Ten road games at Beaver Stadium on Saturday afternoon?
Here are the outcomes of the previous seven PSU-Maryland encounters, except the 2020 COVID-19 season, which saw many college football teams experience a downturn.
2016: Maryland 14, Penn State 38.
2017: Maryland 3, Penn State 66.
2018: Maryland 3, Penn State 38.
2019: Maryland 0, Penn State 59.
Maryland 14, Penn State 31, 2021.
Penn State 30, Maryland 0 in 2022.
2023: Maryland 15, Penn State 51.
Once more, the Terps’ 35-19 triumph over PSU at Beaver Stadium in 2020 is being disregarded. The Lions finished 4-5 that season after starting 0-5.
I’m hoping you’ve seen a pattern.
The James Franklin club is competing for a berth in the collegiate playoffs against a 4-7 team that is 0-3 away from home in league play, and Penn State owns the Terps.
On FanDuel, Penn State was favored by 24.5 points as of Thanksgiving Thursday.
It’s a significant figure. In a game that the Lions won by a single point last week, I did predict that PSU would cover handily against Minnesota on the road.
However, Beaver Stadium is celebrating Senior Day today. Tyler Warren, Penn State’s top tight end, needs 90 more receiving yards to reach 1,000 and set a new regular-season record. The large man is going to be fed by Andy Kotelnicki. There is a chance for both a postseason berth and even a trip to the Big Ten championship game.
Additionally, Billy Edwards Jr., the starting quarterback for Maryland, is not completely healthy.
Penn State is down -24.5. It’s a significant amount.
Too small.
The Lions, 38-10, by four touchdowns.
