College basketball picks for Ohio State vs. Maryland

Before tuning into the Maryland vs. Ohio State game, you need to see the college basketball picks from SportsLine's advanced computer model. The SportsLine Projection Model simulates every Division I college basketball game 10,000 times. Over the past five-plus years, the proprietary computer model has generated an impressive profit of almost $2,000 for $100 players on its top-rated college basketball picks against the spread. Anyone who has followed it has seen huge returns.

For Ohio State vs. Maryland, the model is picking the under to hit with room to spare. The Buckeyes have been struggling offensively in recent weeks despite winning four of their last five games. In fact, Ohio State has scored 70 or fewer points in four of its last six games. Those low scoring totals have helped the under hit in four of Ohio State's last six outings.

Maryland, meanwhile, scored just 67 points when the Terrapins and Buckeyes squared off earlier this month. Daron Russell, who leads the Terrapins in scoring at 14.4 points per game, struggled in that matchup, finishing with just 12 points on 5-of-15 shooting. In addition, the total has gone under in 11 of Maryland's last 15 games at home.

SportsLine's model projects these two teams combine for 141 points on Sunday, which helps the total stay under in well over 50 percent of simulations.
