Why are Maryland 4.5 point dogs?

I know Michigan State is playing well right now, but is someone out for Maryland? Higher seed with both wins in head-to-head this year and you can get them at +175. I'm a Big Ten fan and know these teams pretty well. What am I missing? Someone talk me off Maryland?:shrug:

I'm biting at +4.5 and think the +175 ML has some value as well. Also lean over, for what it's worth. Go Terps!

Thought the same thing.

Possible reasons I could think of:

- Public perception that Mich St. is still a powerhouse team (even though they're not this year)
- General lack of respect for Maryland as a powerhouse. They seem to be one of those "under the radar" teams that don't get a lot of coverage despite being in the top 10
- Maryland's struggle against Indiana vs. Mich St's dominance of Ohio St.
- Mich St's experience at the UC and projected bigger fan base

Even with all of that I would have thought at best it would be a Pk.

But I bit as well. Bought the line up to +5 and went small on the ML at +165 as well.

Good start! Hoping for a decent Maryland lead at the half so I can try for a nice middle.
