The Nebraska Cornhuskers are 6-0 SU and 3-2-1 ATS in six home games so far in 2016. The Cornhuskers will try to wrap up a perfect home record with a win in their final home game of the season on Saturday when they host the Maryland Terrapins.
Reeling on the heels of an embarrassing 62-3 loss to the Ohio State Buckeyes, Nebraska bounced back nicely last week with a 24-17 win and cover at home over a solid Minnesota team. The Cornhuskers improved to 8-2 SU and 6-3-1 ATS with the win, and could stay alive for their first 10-win season since 2012 if they don't slip up this week.
Maryland's 4-0 SU and 2-2 ATS start to the season feels like ancient history at this point after back-to-back losses by over 55 points and a 1-5 SU and ATS record in the team's last six games. The offense hasn't been strong with just 15.7 points per game over the slump, but the defense has been downright awful, allowing 41.7 points per game.
The Terrapins are 1-14 SU in their last 15 games against teams with winning records.
