Georgetown Hoyas vs Maryland Terrapins Prediction, Odds and Picks for Today, 11/07/25

We have a Friday night matchup around the Beltway as the Maryland Terrapins host the Georgetown Hoyas. Both teams won their openers, taking roughly 20-point wins over a couple of traditional small conference opening night opponents. These teams are both interesting, and in similar ways, as they look to measure up and see where they stand in the early days of the season. Both teams are projected to finish near the middle or lower half of their respective conferences, but both also have the potential for a surprise rise. On Friday though, I think the best play might be the game total, especially given the newness and uncertainty surrounding both squads. I’ll take the game total over 146.5.

Maryland made a run to the Sweet 16 last year. Immediately after they lost, their coach left, and then so did the entire roster. I mean the whole thing. They hired Buzz Williams, who brought several guys with him from Texas A&M, plus a McDonald’s All-American freshman, and then a bunch of transfers. Their strength will be their scoring guards. Georgetown has more coaching continuity, but they are also a heavy transfer team. They lost a pair of guys to the NBA, so there is a lot of scoring to replace here. Both teams have a lot of unknowns, and it is hard to project this game with any confidence, but I do like that both teams scored in the 80s in their opening game, and I like the chances of getting both of them over 70 on Friday. For now, I think these offenses will be ahead of the defenses; we’ll see where they go as the season progresses.

Georgetown vs Maryland Prediction: Over 146.5 (-110) available at the time of publishing. Playable at that number.
