Free Sports Game Preview and Prediction: Illinois vs. Maryland
Sunday, March 08, 2026 3:00 PM
Play: Point Spread: -15.5/-110 Illinois
Maryland has had something of a nightmare season overall sitting at 11-19 overall and only 4-15 in Big Ten play. The Terrapins are a program that has a solid history, but this year will be one they want to forget. This squad doesn’t have a good leading scorer and their offense is around 370th in the nation in raw scoring and Maryland really can’t do much on the boards or defensively. Take Illinois to get the win and cover here on the road as our free pick for Sunday. I expect the Fighting Illini to lay the wood here to finish off their regular season strong and it helps that they are 6-3 ATS on the road overall this season.
