Iowa Hawkeyes vs Maryland Terrapins Prediction, Odds and Picks for Today, 11/23/24

The Iowa Hawkeyes hit the road to battle the Maryland Terrapins, and the visitors are looking for its first success on the road in a long time. Iowa has lost 3 in a row away from home, including a 20-17 loss at UCLA last time out on Nov. 8 prior to the bye. Iowa was favored by 6.5 points both at UCLA and Michigan State in the past 2 road games but lost outright, in addition to a 35-7 loss at Ohio State on Oct. 5 as a +17 underdog. The last time Iowa won on the road was Sept. 21, when it secured the Floyd of Rosedale Trophy in a 31-14 victory at Minnesota on Sept. 21. Still, Iowa is a respectable 3-2 straight up and against the spread in the past 5 games overall. The Over is 4-1 in the past 5 for Iowa and 8-2 in 10 games overall, a stark contrast to last season.

For Maryland, this is a hugely important game. It must win this week and next week at Penn State if it wishes to become bowl eligible. It’s a tough task, but all is not lost on the season yet. The Terrapins suffered a debilitating 31-17 loss at home to Rutgers last week and have dropped 3 in a row, while going 2-5 ATS in the past 7 games overall since Sept. 21. The defense has been problematic, allowing 28 or more points in 6 straight, with the Over going 5-2 in the past 7 outings. It’s hard to trust either side against the spread, so it’s the over for me.

Iowa vs Maryland: Over 43.5 (-110) at time of publishing. Playable to 44.
