The spread: Maryland by 3.5.
The pick: Maryland 41, UCF 36.
Why? UCF scored 61 points to beat Florida International. Maryland has scored 50 points or more in both its wins. But UCF had two games cancelled by Hurricane Irma hasn't played since Aug. 31. Maryland had one game cancelled. That rust could keep the score "down." Like in the 30s or 40s. Wide receiver D.J. Moore and running back Ty Johnson are big-time playmakers.
The spread: Nebraska by 12.
The pick: Nebraska 28, Rutgers 14.
