Maryland football’s homecoming game will take place this Saturday at 3:30 p.m. against Illinois.
The Terps are fresh off their first loss of the season to No. 3 Ohio State, 37-17. After a strong start, the Terps crumbled as a result of all-too-common mistakes and a second-half outburst from Ohio State’s offense.
According to DraftKings Sportsbook, Maryland is a 14-point favorite (-600 moneyline) over the Fighting Illini. Saturday’s game will air on NBC, and has an over/under of 51 total points.
