The Spartans, of course,\u00a0after they were whipped by Northwestern in a 54-40 loss in East Lansing. The loss was Michigan State\u2019s fourth straight and the team will get another chance of breaking its skid when it takes on Maryland, a team they\u2019ve beaten in each of the last two meetings dating back to 2014.<\/p>\n<p>There have been so many issues the Spartans have had to deal with this season and those are obviously hurting the team. The quarterback position has been a toss-up of late with starter Tyler O\u2019Connor getting benched in the loss to BYU to give way to Damion Terry.<\/p>\n<p>Terry didn\u2019t impress either, paving the way for another start for O\u2019Connor in the Northwestern game. O\u2019Connor played well against the Wildcats, passing for 281 yards with three touchdowns and an interception.<\/p>\n<p>Regardless of who will start under center this Saturday though, the Spartans won\u2019t have much success in the game if their defense continues to be garbage. They were lit up by Northwestern for 490 total yards, 209 of which came on the ground.<\/p>\n<p>On the season, the Spartans are 85<sup>th<\/sup> in the nation with 30.0 points allowed per contest.<\/p>\n<h3>Betting on the Maryland Terrapins (<a href=\"http:\/\/topbet.eu\/sportsbook\/football\/ncaa\">+2<\/a>)<\/h3>\n<p>Like the Spartans, Maryland is having some quarterback quandaries of its own.<\/p>\n<p>Starter Perry Hills is being slowed down by a shoulder injury that has made it possible for freshman Tyrrell Pigrome to take over the gig last week against Minnesota. Unfortunately for the Terps, Pigrome was far from messianic under center, completing just 18 of 37 throws for 161 yards with a touchdown and two interceptions.<\/p>\n<p>The upside for the Terrapins\u2019 passing attack this Saturday, however, is that\u00a0Michigan State\u2019s pass defense has been extremely soft. The Spartans are second worst in the Big Ten with 229.7 passing yards allowed per contest. Having said that, the key for Maryland to\u00a0defeating Michigan State could be its ground game, which is ranked 16<sup>th<\/sup> in the FBS with 250.0 yards covered per outing.<\/p>\n<p>To that end, the Terps will have to get solid performances from the likes of Lorenzo Harrison III and Ty Johnson, who pace the team with 397 and 367 rushing yards, respectively, while combining for seven rushing touchdowns.<\/p>\n<p>Maryland is 5-5 ATS in its last 10 games at home.<\/p>\n<h3>Writer\u2019s Prediction<\/h3>\n<p>Michigan State (<strong><a href=\"http:\/\/topbet.eu\/sportsbook\/football\/ncaa\" target=\"_blank\">-2<\/a><\/strong>) wins, 35-28.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/record.tbaffiliate.com\/_y8k7RB3Ll4xutv7iXV6HvmNd7ZgqdRLk\/6\" class=\"broken_link\" rel=\"nofollow\">Create a betting
