Top Week 12 college football expert predictions
One of Sallee's top Week 12 college football picks: He's going Under 49 in the matchup between No. 3 Michigan and Maryland in College Park at noon ET on Saturday.
Michigan head coach Jim Harbaugh is going to miss the rest of the regular season due to a Big Ten-imposed suspension amid an NCAA investigation surrounding a sign-stealing scandal. The Wolverines relied heavily on their rushing attack in last week's win at Penn State, and they have no reason to change their game plan on Saturday. Running backs Blake Corum and Donovan Edwards combined for 197 rushing yards in a game that went Under the total of 44.5 points.
Maryland is coming off a low-scoring game of its own, easily going Under 42.5 points in a 13-10 win over Nebraska. The Terrapins have struggled to score against Michigan over the last decade, averaging fewer than 14 points per game in the last 10 meetings. They are going to have trouble changing that narrative against a motivated Michigan defense that is allowing 6.7 points per game this season. See what other picks Sallee likes at SportsLine.
