MSU-Maryland Prediction, 5 Determining Factors from LSJ's Graham Couch

Michigan State football will look to open Big Ten play with a victory this week in a tough road test at Maryland.

The Spartans head to College Park, Md. on Saturday for their conference opener against the Terps. Michigan State opened the regular season with a victory over Florida Atlantic last week by the final score of 16-10. Maryland also picked up a win in its opener, topping UConn by the final score of 50-7.

Michigan State is listed as an 8.5-point underdog, suggesting the Terps should win this game with ease. But what do the experts think about this matchup?
