Stewart Mandel in The Athletic, 9/30/20:
This week's Upset Special: No. 5 Iowa (-3.5) at Maryland (8 p.m. Friday, FS1)
Maryland is quietly 4-0, boasts the Big Ten's top-rated passer, Taulia Tagovailoa, and a national top-10 scoring defense (14.3 PPG). Iowa is a big step up from the Terps' previous opponents, but hardly unbeatable given how limited the Hawkeyes are offensively. Tagovailoa limits mistakes and makes a few big plays.
Maryland 24, Iowa 20
Pick: Maryland +3.5
I'm eager to read his next column.
