MARYLAND TERRAPINS VS IOWA HAWKEYES PICKS AND PREDICTION

We’re off to a smashing start this week taking wins on Monday and Tuesday, so let’s keep the positivity and turn to the Big Ten Conference on Wednesday night. I am eyeing Iowa and the handicap offer of +4.5, and yes, I punned the heck out of that one! HA!

I don’t think I can get past what the Iowa offense can do on a nightly basis, and they seem to only get stronger as the games get more intense in the second half. Notice that Iowa ranks 5th in the Nation putting up an average of just under 45 points in the final 20 minutes of the game.

If the 84.2 PPG doesn’t impress you, the Hawkeyes feature four forwards in the top 5 and only one guard, and they rank 5th in the land with the assists-to-turnover ratio This team is unselfish, and they have a ton of inside presence to cause havoc in the paint, much less the ability to hit their free-throws (77;9% Team FT).

Iowa’s defence is 100% suspect, and that would be what any bettor would normally be concerned with Iowa on the road to cover a handful of points. Fortunately, Maryland’s offense has barely scratched out an average of 69 PPG this campaign,

I think you can tell how Polar-opposite these programs are by the totals. The Iowa Over is 16 – 8, and the Maryland Under is 16 – 8. These two teams played a 2-point game on January 24 in the first meeting, and the Terps went into the Hawkeyes house and left with the dub, 69 – 67.

I see the Hawkeyes returning the favour and possibly providing the upset in College Park for the road team, so pocket those points with Iowa, and I will see you tomorrow! Oh, 76 – 73 is my exact score call, and Iowa might just be that team with the 6 attached to their 70 if you get my drift!
