The Maryland Terrapins (6-4) and the 24th-ranked passing attack will take the field against the No. 2 Michigan Wolverines (10-0) and the first-ranked passing defense on Saturday, November 18 on Big Noon Kickoff. The Wolverines are heavily favored by 19 points in the outing. 

The Wolverines beat the Penn State Nittany Lions, 24-15, in their last contest. The Terrapins beat the Nebraska Cornhuskers, 13-10, in their most recent contest.

Can the Wolverines keep their undefeated streak alive without the potential absence of Coach Harbaugh?

Here's everything you need to know about the matchup between Michigan and Maryland — the point spread, moneyline, total Over/Under and a pick from our betting analyst Geoff Schwartz.

Pick via FOX Sports Betting Analyst Geoff Schwartz

This is the Super Bowl for the Terrapins, and I will wager they start fast with the Wolverines primed for a letdown. Michigan beat Penn State in Happy Valley in a highly emotional game with the Jim Harbaugh suspension looming. Now the Wolverines head back on the road, and it’s possible by the time you read this that Harbaugh is back on the sideline after a court ruling. 

Will that "us against the world" fight be there against Maryland? Also, Michigan has an upcoming date with Ohio State for a playoff spot, and I could see them start slowing against the Terps.

It’s worth noting Maryland played best against Penn State and Ohio State in the first half before those games ended in blowouts.

PICK: Maryland +10.5 first half

Will Michigan stay undefeated against Maryland?
