Rutgers Scarlet Knights vs Maryland Terrapins Prediction, Odds and Picks for Today, 03/01/26

The Rutgers Scarlet Knights make the quick jaunt down to College Park to battle the Maryland Terrapins. Each of these teams have 11-17 records, and each are currently projected to be No. 15 seed or lower in the Big Ten Tournament, which would mean both teams would play in the first round, needing six consecutive victories to make a miracle run to a tourney title and automatic bid in the NCAA Tournament. That’s the only path to the postseason for either team. Both teams could still win a couple of games and move up the standings, and it starts with a win on Sunday.

The Terps are 5-1 ATS in the past 6 games, although that lone non-cover was in a 68-57 loss at Rutgers on Feb. 15. The Under cashed in the first meeting with the Scarlet Knights, and the total has gone low at a 5-2 clip in the past 7 games for Maryland. For Rutgers, the Over has cashed in three in a row, and 7 of the past 8 games overall. UMD is 3-2 ATS in the past 5 games at home, and Rutgers is 4-2 ATS in the past 6 games on the road. With two bad teams, there is a lot of uncertainty. We’ll go with the Over, as that has been a dominant trend for Rutgers lately, cashing in 4 in a row on the road, and 5 of the past 6 away from home.
